All the tests now fail on Fedora 10 x86_64 due to an unexpected output there:

ldd output changed this way:
 	linux-vdso.so.1 =>
-	libncurses.so.5 => /lib64/libncurses.so.5
+	libtinfo.so.5 => /lib64/libtinfo.so.5
 	libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1
 	libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6
 	libpython2.5.so.1.0 => /usr/lib64/libpython2.5.so.1.0
 	libexpat.so.1 => /lib64/libexpat.so.1
 	libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2
 	libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6
-	libtinfo.so.5 => /lib64/libtinfo.so.5
 	libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0
 	libutil.so.1 => /lib64/libutil.so.1
 	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

Sure it may be also an ncurses bug.
