Actually, I solved the problem a little while ago. The 10G drive used to be running RH, and I hadn't bothered to wipe the /usr directory because there were some things I wanted from it and I didn't trust myself not to accidentally erase them. Apparently, RedHat puts ncurses in /usr/lib, while Debian keeps it in /lib. Since /usr comes first on the path, the programs were being linked to an older ncurses.
