Ken,

   Ah, phooey! I didn't see the terminal 'w' on two of those files:

ll /lib/libncurses*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 Mar  9  2014 /lib/libncurses.so.5 ->
libncurses.so.5.9*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 313416 May  7  2013 /lib/libncurses.so.5.9*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     18 Mar  9  2014 /lib/libncursesw.so.5 ->
- libncursesw.so.5.9*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 395048 May  7  2013 /lib/libncursesw.so.5.9*

   So the actual files are from 2013 while the softlinks are from 2014, and
there are two flavors: libncurses and libncursesw. Didn't see that.

Thanks,

Rich
