If you have the backtrace, I'd be happy to take a look.

Glad to hear it!

The problem is that the Ruby ncurses library doesn't have wide character
support. So non-ASCII characters should appear, if the locale is
detected correctly, but ncurses will be completely confused every time
it prints a wide character because it expects the character to have
taken multiple columns whereas the terminal interpreted it as only one.

At least, that's my limited understanding of the issue.

There was some preliminary work at recompiling the ruby ncurses library
to enable wide characters here:
