>Description:
	Against all common sense, <curses.h> includes the line

		#define		reg	register

	This is _not_ used within curses.h itself, and breaks any program which
	uses reg as a variable name, or otherwise.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to build a program with a variable named `reg', in this case xwpe-1.5.13a
>Fix:
	Nuke this line, make sure nothing obscurely depends on it...
