System: NetBSD nemeton.com.au 1.1 NetBSD 1.1 (NEMETON) #2: Mon Apr 8 20:55:12 EST 1996 giles@nemeton.com.au:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/NEMETON i386


>Description:
	<curses.h> uses u_int which is not defined by <sys/types.h>
	for code being compiled with -D_POSIX_SOURCE set.
>How-To-Repeat:
	$ echo "#include <sys/types.h>\n#include <curses.h>" > a.c
	$ cc -c -D_POSIX_SOURCE a.c
>Fix:
	Is there a standards guru in the house?

	I recognise a namespace problem when I see one, but I won't
	proffer a solution. :)
