Test succeeded because you get exit status 0 in case of program crash
(and AC_TRY_RUN believed everything O.K.):

mw1g017 AT MW1G17C ~/src/temcap
$ cat main.c
main()
{
    int i = tgetent((char*)0,"vt100");
    if (i > 0) {
        char tbuf[1024], *u;
        u = tbuf;
        tgetstr("cl", &u);
    }
    exit(!i || i == -1);
}

mw1g017 AT MW1G17C ~/src/temcap
$ gcc -o main main.c -ltermcap

mw1g017 AT MW1G17C ~/src/temcap
$ ./main
      0 [main] main 1010 handle_exceptions: Exception:
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
   3317 [main] main 1010 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to
main.exe.stackdump

mw1g017 AT MW1G17C ~/src/temcap
$ echo $?
0

Is it expected? The above is exact test as used in Zsh. (ncurses
obviously has more friendly tgetent() :-)

P.S. I'd appreciate Cc as I am not on this list.
