The "resize" program and other X11 programs break because of the
changes in this area:

        % resize
        /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5: \
                Undefined symbol "__stdoutp"

So's the bumping of the version numbers on the libraries whose
interfaces have been changed -- both producer (libc) and
consumer (libncurses).  This also means libncurses needs to be
part of the "compat4.x" that comes with 5.x.
