I guess that's the reason: my in-tree curse is not good enough.
Actually, I am running a 1.5_ALPHA kernel with old userland
stuff, I think.  I got 
ident /usr/include/curses.h
	$NetBSD: curses.h,v 1.21 1998/01/30 04:33:32 perry Exp $
ident /netbsd/sup/src/Makefile
	$NetBSD: Makefile,v 1.118.2.1 2000/08/24 02:19:59 fredb Exp $
What do you got there?
