That's an unusual bug (ncurses is written in ANSI C, using POSIX functions).
Traditional-cpp is used for platforms such as SunOS which have non-ANSI
substitutions in their header files, e.g.,

        #define foo(c) 'c'

I think I need more information (why Darwin has stuff in their header files
which is about 12-years obsolete).
