SunOS 5.10 Generic_137112-07 i86pc i386 i86pc

In fact ncurses was the problem. My LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointed to a copied
version of libncurses.so.5 (pointing to libncurses.so.5.6) that was
later replaced by our admins (maybe they've noticed such a problem, too).

Now it works. Thanks and sorry for the trouble.
