Depending on the version of valgrind :

--track-origins=yes

might help...

But it's linking against the shared libraries - valgrind is usually right in this regard.
Since there are no line-numbers for libformw, it's hard to guess whether your problem
is an overlooked bug in ncurses, or a bad parameter from your application.

When I do test-builds, using the whole ncurses sources, I've got it setup to use the
rpath feature for programs in the test-subdirectory.  That is pretty reliable.
(I don't use codeblocks or other IDEs for this...)
