Now, please look the line 103 in file /usr/src/lib/libtermcap/tgoto.c ,
if that sentence is OK (no corrupted ASCII), then it is your hardware problem.
Either you overclocked CPU or you have a bad memory chip. Please check them.
If you could not figure out what is the problem, please send your hardware
configuration -- inlcuding the overclock if you do.

I did see a corrupted file during the installation, but it rarely happens.
Some one explained to me that a universal particle was intruding in my
system during the installation. I got a constant error at that place.
Yous did not seem in this case, because you had random failure, so it is
memory problem in either your memory chip or the CPU cache if you over
clock your CPU.
