Segmentation fault in ncurses

Hello, I am not on this mailing list and I am not able to debug the following issue. It is just for information since a segmentation fault may be an issue on a OpenBSD base system library. The system I am using is very old (Oct. 2016) but ncurses likely does not have changed much since then:

ncursesw header not found

Hello, in /usr/lib there seems to be the ncursesw library but I don't find a ncursesw header file (expected as something like .../ncursesw/curses.h). I also don't find a curses package to install. Is there ncursesw support for OpenBSD? I found threads from 2010, but I'm not sure if they are

ncurses and ncursesw share same header?

curses, ncurses and ncursesw library seem to be hard links to one file. So that means that with the -l option I decide which functions I use and always simply include ? (At least this states the curses manpage.)

"cp -p" does not preserve the mtime of symlinks

Hello, "cp -p" seems to not preserve the modification time of symlinks. This is not mentioned in the man page. Other systems I tested (others BSDs and Linux) do preserve the mtime of symlinks with e.g. "cp -a". The OpenBSD kernel also does support to set it with e.g. utimensat(2). Is this

There is a problem in OpenBSD 5.5 cwm with using pointers like cc-group-shortcut without testing cc-group for being NULL This is (should be) fixed in current. It leads to crashes of cwm (in 5.5) but may be not the cause for what happens on your system. (Had been very annoying for me since it

Re: sshfs does not seem to work correctly

Again I am guessing, but OpenBSD might disconnect if there is a sufficient period of inactivity on the sshfs file system. Usb drives disconnect if left long enough, for example. A running process, such as an open terminal on the usb prevents this. It is a security feature. There had only

Re: sshfs as non-root: fuse_mount: Permission d enied

I may be completely off the mark here but I believe that in OpenBSD all mount points _must be owned by root. So you have to pass options for uid and gid with the mount command. I had expected that that works. But that is not really comfortable and kind of faking and overriding the uid. Ok,

I'll regroup. I don't have access to an OpenBSD system at the moment but I'm trying to recall the readme and man page for ntfs-3g which also uses fuse. Using fuse which may lead to a privilege escalation, I think, ... and that is why ntfs-3g has to be run as root and pass uid and gid

I tried to reproduce this with the EPS file an gv alone. That did not work, i.e. it opens without delay. Unfortunately this now becomes groff dependent. But anyway it's also OpenBSD specific. I tried with http://www.openbsd.org/images/poster31.jpg: jpegtopnm poster31.jpg poster31.pnm pnmtops
