That was a difficult bug to isolate.
Good work.

Unfortunately some bug fixes to the curses code (scr_curses.c) were omitted.

For example the 'pair_content()' function call will cause a seg-fault in 
some versions of ncurses when the terminal does not support color.
So it needs to be enclosed in a 'has_colors()' test.

Example:
if (has_colors()) {
    start_color();
    pair_content(0,&fore_color,&back_color);
}

There were also some fixes to attributes, such as underline, which 
failed to work under some terminals (ex: vt220).

Anyway these changes should not interfere with your code changes, so I 
think they should be included.

You still have admin status for the TC project on SF.
What kind of problem are you experiencing ?
