I'm getting a segmentation fault when I try to use tput. The program runs
successfully if you just ask it for a version number, or if asked for a non-
existent capability, but gets a seg fault when asked about a real capability.
$ tput sgr0
Segmentation fault (core dumped) <---- this is wrong
$ tput -V
ncurses 5.7.20091024 <---- OK, latest version
$ tput garbage
tput: unknown terminfo capability 'garbage' <---- OK, this is correct
$ type tput
tput is hashed (/bin/tput)
The seg fault didn't happen with the previous version. Is there anything else
I should try to debug this? Would you like cygcheck output?
