It seems to be a problem in combination with glibc, when I try the same
binary on a different system with the same versions of slang and mlterm
and the same LANG but glibc version 2.6.1 the problem does not occur.

Now the question is if this is a bug purely in glibc or does slang do
something that doesn't agree with glibc 2.4. Does slang support glibc
2.4?
