This is on my one amd64 (stable) machine, so the following proposed
update should be safe and Just Work(TM), right?

Maybe it will, but there is no way I'm going to let this upgrade happen
tonight when I'm tired from fighting all day with the so-called 'stable'
computers at work:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U  ] sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r5 [5.9-r3]
[ebuild  NS    ] sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r99 [5.9-r3] USE="cxx gpm unicode
-ada -static-libs -tinfo" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)" 

Is this going to install two different (slotted) versions of ncurses-5.9
on my stable machine?

If not, then this proposed update must be an experiment or a hack or a
workaround of some kind.  On my *stable* machine!

Can you tell I'm in a bad mood and a bit paranoid at the moment?  I'm
going to bed and will update the stable machine again in the morning.
Hrmph!
