I generally catch up on my email on the weekend; am currently working
on other things.

I don't know why you would be using 5.0, which is several years old.
The current version of ncurses is 5.5 from last fall.  For the information 
given, I would first verify that the two utility programs built with 
$(BUILD_CC) in the ncurses subdirectory ran properly - there is no 
indication in the report that this was done.  Past that, if you have no 
debugger, you can still compile-in ncurses' trace feature (which I recall 
noting on a recent message) and get some rough idea where it's dying.
