Ah yes, it seems we > need another permutation for the wonderful ncurses world :-) I got additional information about this issue: In past, there was only tinfo. Few weeks ago tinfo and tinfow stopped to be binary compatible and tinfow was created. It caused many crashes. Then ncurses developers decided to make them binary compatible again, but the format split will probably stay, open to future development. So we can suppose that: IF tinfow does not exist AND ncursesw is used THEN we can safely use tinfo. IF tinfow exists AND ncursesw is used THEN it is unsafe to use tinfo and we should (have to?) use tinfow. => My patch is too strict. > I've committed a little different solution.

I'd like to release -rc1 ASAP. Works perfectly!
