You mention that ncurses was dispelled for some time. Your bash 
apparently worked during this same time. Maybe the problem is that my 
bash somehow links to ncurses while yours doesn't? I think my error can 
be easily reproduced by dispelling ncurses and then typing "bash<ENTER>" 
to start new bash process, but I can't test right now as I don't have 
access to development machine.
