Hi Edward,

If I had one thing to ask you to do (besides what you just did), it
would be to fork ncurses and make it so that it would work with
Valgrind when you use a specific command line option. As ncurses stands
now, you must recompile it to make it not erroneously tell Valgrind
that it's leaking like a sieve.

I'm a brave guy, but I'm not going to recompile nCurses and everything
that depends on it.

I've asked Thomas Dickey several times for this change, and his
attitude is "probably never."
