Ok, I've tweaked the buildenvironment to not having ncurses-devel, and
without it:

This is with ncurses-devel in the build environment:

# zsh
# zmodload zsh/terminfo
# echoti cols
80

So that works at least.

Hope you can use it. It's build on a SuSE Linux 9.0 on a dual Opteron,
and the breakage is confirmed and look the same on SuSE Linux 9.0 i386.
