I cannot reproduce this with CVS HEAD nor 1.5.8 nor 1.4.2.1.
I have two ideas: first ncurses 5.2 is pretty old and as the crash
happens after calling refresh() inside ncurses it could be its fault and
not mutt's. Can you try updating the cursing library?
Second: how do you build? You have +LOCALES_HACK enabled which shouldn't
be necessary on your system I guess. Maybe not enabling it helps?
But still the value for fname when calling mutt_pager() looks very
strange to me...
bye, Rocco
