Summary: curses mvwgetnstr build problem on Solaris 8

Initial Comment:
The _curses extension doesn't build on Solaris 8
(64-bit) due to the following problem:

building '_curses' extension

This problem occurs with both 2.4.3 and 2.5a1.

I'll attach the obvious patch.

There's no uploaded file!  You have to check the
checkbox labeled "Check to Upload & Attach File"
when you upload a file.

Please try again.

(This is a SourceForge annoyance that we can do
nothing about. :-( )
