That's where I see the error, when you do that in a thread with stack
size in the limits between 4 and 8K

and you haven't identified
the version of ncurses that you're using (there was a change followed by
two fixes in this area in the past few months).  I suspect you're either
running a version before the last fix, or have found a place needing a
third fix.

I've mentioned that I've tested this on the latest ncurses - I haven't
added available from directory.fsf.org which happens to be 5.5
(downloaded and built today) :).  Is there anything newer that I can
test?

The latest ncurses would be the 5.5 release with the patches from
        ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/5.5/

At the moment I see these files:

Current directory is /ncurses/5.5

The most recent version is achieved by applying the most recent rollup
patch, e.g., ncurses-5.5-20060909-patch.sh.bz2, and the successive
weekly patches shown on these lines:
