Comment (by pulkomandy):

 "at some point in the past" is a bit vague :)
 I suspect the upgrade from ncurses 5.5 to 5.9 when we moved to package
 management could be a problem.

 ncurses 5.9 was released in 2011, and the ncurses project is providing
 patches with bugfixes since then. The patchset has grown to 1MB over time.
 I tried building ncurses with it applied but one of the tools used during
 the build enters an infinite loop.

 We will probably need to find which version of ncurses made these problem
 happen first (somewhere between 5.5 and 5.9) and either revert to the last
 working version, or find the issue there and fix it in the latest.
