I see no problems under TERM=cygwin or TERM=rxvt.  I'm betting the problem
is that you have ncurses installed incorrectly.  There's a particular order
you have to follow in upgrading from an old to a new version or it won't
work right.  Search the list for the last ncurses announcement for the
instructions, and simply redo the installation.
