Building Python 2.2 - curses module test failure

[Nick Chalk]

[ Apologies if this screws up the threading. My
news server machine chose last night to have a
crisis, and all of comp.lang.python ended up in
lost+found. :-/ ]

I pulled the three updated files from CVS, and
rebuilt with the same debugging, no optimization
CFLAGS as before. The curses tests now run fine -
no segfaults, no warnings of invalid pointers.

One operator trap to watch for when running the
tests - don't try to redirect stdout, ncurses
doesn't like it. Unfortunately, if you do
something like...

   make test 2>&1 | tee Test.log

...which is what I habitually do, ncurses doesn't
warn you - it just fails hard. :-(

Problem solved! Thanks for your help.

Nick.
