  The ncal calendar program crashes with a segmentation fault.

  test at s8315043:~$ ncal
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

  Note that ncal is a symlink to cal and cal is working fine.

  test at s8315043:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/cal /usr/bin/ncal
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     4 Feb  7 11:08 /usr/bin/cal -> ncal
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 33888 Feb  7 11:08 /usr/bin/ncal
