Thanks for your reply. I have replied with an analysis of your response.

In summary, I suspect that Debian is applying a patch to ncurses that
causes the build failure you observed with my patch. I believe that my
patch is the correct way to address this. The Debian solution appears to
be to use & inside a member initializer list, which could be an
undefined behavior. If it is defined, it should provide a stack pointer,
which is incorrect. My solution is to change the type of the constructor
prototype, which resolves the build issue and should provide a correct
behavior.
