curses.h is broke.  It has two sets of KEY_defines, one for NLS support 
another one that's more like what you see on other Unix systems.

You can fix it by making sure that the symbol NLS is defined before curs
is included.  So everywhere you see

     #include <curses.h>

you should preceed it with

     #define NLS 1

or some such...
