rtorrent segfault at startup
After an update last couple of days my rtorrent stopped working.
[Laptop][~] Arch $ rtorrent
Caught Bus error, dumping stack:
Caught Segmentation fault, dumping stack:
Segmentation fault
I found out that the latest update of ncurses was causing it: ncurses (5.7-4 -> 5.8-1). This post is just for anyone else to detect the problem faster. I looked at rtorrent, libtorrent and openssl fist and then found out it was related to ncurses.

Re: rtorrent segfault at startup
Thanks. Since rtorrent-svn don't build at the moment, I just downgraded ncurses to 5.7-4. And rtorrent is up and running again. Thanks molecula21 for pushing me in the right direction.
