Looks like a null pointer.  Run your code through gdb and analyze the
stack frame of the functions _init_curses_disp() and/or main() to see
where this occurs.  CWSDPMI under djgpp catches null pointer
dereferences before they scrog your system.  I'm somewhat surprised that
you didn't have other problems when running your program under NT...
