Yes, upgrade solved my problem - aptitude, m-a at least.
I tried start these 10 times and freeze didn't occured.

I'm using Unicode Rxvt X terminal emulator.

zito at bobek:~$ echo $TERM
rxvt-unicode

I tested problem with 5.6+20080925-1 positively, than upgrade to
5.6+20081004-1 and it is OK now.

ii  libncurses5    5.6+20081004-1 shared libraries for terminal handling
