ncurses and menu

["Rajeev Rao" <rbsrao@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
  I've been designing an editor. I've used the ncurses' menu library to do 
the interface. I've used rhide for an IDE. Heres the problem :
The editor works fine without being run with any arguements. I am able to 
open most files including NFS-HOWTO..and most other large txt files.

  However, if I specify, a text file as an arguement, and this file happens 
to exceed a page, the editor crashes with a segmentation fault.

  On tracing the code, I tracked the problem down to a menu definition as 
shown below. This object, is totally unrelated to the file opened or the 
size or anything. The names variable has been assigned properly(global 
strings in a namespace). The size of sz has also been verified? Is this a 
bug with menu?

menuobj::menuobj(char **names, int sz, int begx,int begy,int n) : menuno(n)
{
   ITEM **p = new ITEM *[sz];
   for(int i = 0; i < sz; i++)
       p[i] = new_item(names[i],0);
=>    menu = new_menu(p); //line where error occurs
   int r,c; scale_menu(menu, &r,&c);
   menuwin = newwin(r+1,c+1,begx,begy);
   keypad(menuwin,1);
   set_menu_win(menu, menuwin);
   menu_opts_off(menu,O_NONCYCLIC);
   menu_opts_off(menu,O_SHOWDESC);
}
