ldd /usr/bin/pinfo

the problem usually occurs when there are mixed libraries - ncurses and
ncursesw. Is your readline updated, too?

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

#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.
