That's "/home/vinx/output.log".  But also there should be a file named
"trace" which is created by setting the NCURSES_TRACE variable and
linking to the --with-trace'd ncurses.  You can check if the static
executable has trace functions, since "nm" would show "trace", "_tracef"
and several other "_traceXXX" symbols.
