[Bug 496396] [NEW] pinfo + ncurses-5.7 = segfault

[Szymon Siwek]

Public bug reported:

$ pinfo
Caught signal 11, bye!
pinfo: crash with: Success

backtrace:

#0  0xb7f4fad7 in _nc_keypad () from /lib/libtinfo.so.5
#1  0xb7f4fcd0 in keypad () from /lib/libtinfo.so.5
#2  0x08057c1a in init_curses () at utils.c:288
#3  0x08053ff4 in handlemanual (name=0xbffff1cf "dir") at manual.c:266
#4  0x0804afea in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff3f4) at pinfo.c:313

Function "init_curses" from pinfo looks OK - attached hgw.c based on
this function compiles and runs nicely.

BTW. Message "crash with: Success" truly amused me.
