If you use ncurses, then you _shouldn't_ be linking in the system libterminfo
as well. Ncurses, as it's usually built, will have its own terminfo functions
built-in. (You can also pull this out as a libtinfo{,w}.*)

I think what's happening here is some functions are being pulled from the
system libterminfo and others from the ncurses impl. resulting in a
half-initialized mish-mash in ncurses's data-structures.
