hmm - I've only tried 20010603 with gcc (but didn't see anything in the
patch which would make NCURSES_CH_T broken).  That looks like something
wrong with this line:

            NCURSES_CH_T sch = NewChar2(*s++, AttrOf(ch));

(I've more work to do on this change, since there's not enough configure
scripting to make the --enable-widec portable - I'd thought that most of
the people who would try to use it would be using glibc 2.2 on Linux)
