I think it happens whenever ncurses chokes on something. In my case it didn't like being run under a Python wrapper script. You may want to make sure you have a health ncurses and lxdialog: $ cd /usr/src/linux# your linux root directory $ scripts/lxdialog/lxdialog --textbox ~/.bashrc 20 70 Substitute any text file for ~/.bashrc. If you see a scrolling text window lxdialog and ncurses are healthy. Otherwise that's where you start debugging. Eliminate all wrapper scripts from running make menuconfig. Try different terminals, including a plain tty without X. Hope that helps.
