Unforunatly, no.  I made a complete rebuild with libtermcap replaced
by libxcurses, but the resulting binary still crashes like before.

I agree, but I'm unable to figure out what fails...

I'd like to debug this issue, but to be true, I don't know how to
tackle this -- especially given the fact that each rebuild takes hours
and the gdb output seems quite uninformative.  (maybe my gdb build is
buggy too?!)

Any hints on how to proceed are highly welcome.
