Hey mates, net-news/newsbeuter is also affected with the bug of ncurses 2.8. (Segmentation Fault).
Please paste your `emerge --info' into a comment. A gdb backtrace of the affected binary might be nice too. Does it help to re-emerge it?
I'm sorry, I was in hurry and forgot to paste my emerge --info.

I am likewise seeing a segfault. I have likewise tried to remerge newsbeuter and delete all config files with no fix.

Update: after switching python versions then running python-updater and logging back in the problem is fixed.
