Quote "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."

Could you please give me more details about what such a project would
involve? What is the package name we are after, and what does it do?

You don't need to give me many details, you only need to set me on the
right path, and I will continue from there on.
