Sorry for being a PITA, but the ncurses bug is still there. The memleak seems to be gone in 1.6.1 though, it's been an hour already and the process is at 370M. Let's see if it leaks overnight or not. Also, it still doesn't build with older curl (at least make it fail at configure stage :-( ):
util.c:249: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'curlsocktype'
make[2]: *** [cgminer-util.o] Error 1
Thanks!
