I expect that

libncurses.so is a link to
libncurses.so.5 is a link to
libncurses.so.5.4

I'm using

ii  libncurses5    5.3.20030719-5 Shared libraries for terminal handling

which shouldn't make any difference (that is I don't recall any issues
with screensize).  But that's a possibility.  Also the version of cron
may be a factor:

ii  cron           3.0pl1-81      management of regular background processing
