problems with 2.1.125 (or maybe it's a debian problem ?)

This is the first time I try to recompile the kernel after I upgraded
to Debian 2.0
I don't know where the problems come from, here's what I get:

root@penny:/usr/src/linux # make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/split-include scripts/split-include.c
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/scratch/usr/src/linux/scripts'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkparse.o tkparse.c
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkcond.o tkcond.c
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkgen.o tkgen.c
gcc -o tkparse tkparse.o tkcond.o tkgen.o
cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk
./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk
make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 139
make[1]: Leaving directory `/scratch/usr/src/linux/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
root@penny:/usr/src/linux #

and also in make menuconfig I get an error:

There seems to be a problem with the lxdialog companion utility which isbuilt prior to running Menuconfig. Usually this is an indicator that you
have upgraded/downgraded your ncurses libraries and did not remove the
old ncurses header file(s) in /usr/include or /usr/include/ncurses.
It is VERY important that you have only one set of ncurses header files
and that those files are properly version matched to the ncurses libraries
installed on your machine.
You may also need to rebuild lxdialog. This can be done by moving to
the /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog directory and issuing the "make clean all" command.
If you have verified that your ncurses install is correct, you may email
the maintainer <mec@shout.net> or post a message to<linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu> for additional assistance.
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 139
root@penny:/usr/src/linux #

I have checked and I can't find anything more than ncurses 3.4 on my system.

And this is what happens with make oldconfig

The Linux kernel should now be configured for your setup.
Check the top-level Makefile for additional configuration,
and do a 'make dep ; make clean' if you want to be sure all
the files are correctly re-made

if [ -r include/linux/autoconf.h ]; then \
scripts/split-include include/linux/autoconf.h include/config; \
fi
make: *** [oldconfig] Error 139

This error 139 seems to be the culprit. What does it mean?
