Just so you know, I just downloaded the same ncurses source and built
CGDB on a ubuntu machine. There doesn't seem to be a bug. However, if I
ssh (from linux) into the linux machine that had the bug, it still exists.

Also, the trace log kind of makes it look like ncurses is doing the
correct thing. What could be the problem?
