No, all builds were with 5.5 and your latest temp patches, but 
I started having the same problem with the 5.4 from Slackware, 
the reason why I upgraded.

The Slackware build uses --with-screen=ncurses. I tested with 
both.

My ncurses was compiled with

--without-cxx-binding --without-ada --with-shared 
--without-normal --without-debug --with-gpm --enable-symlinks 
--enable-hard-tabs --enable-colorfgbg --enable-ext-mouse 
--enable-warnings --disable-leaks

and again with

--without-cxx-binding --without-ada --with-shared 
--without-normal --without-debug --with-gpm --enable-symlinks 
--enable-widec --enable-ext-colors --enable-hard-tabs 
--enable-colorfgbg --enable-ext-mouse --enable-warnings 
--disable-leaks

to make the ncursesw. In this one I also used 
--enable-ext-colors, which, according to "INSTALL", only works 
for ncursesw ("This applies only to the wide-character 
(--enable-widec) configuration.").

Any ideas ?
