  it's defined in the header files (e.g., curses.h) as
  NCURSES_VERSION.

I looked in my curses.h file and found that I am running NCURSES_VERSION
"1.9.9e"  Do I need to upgrade?  If so, where can I find the source?

  Someone added some code last fall to (better) support magic
  cookies,
  but I'm still regarding it as untested since they didn't actually
  test on a terminal with those attributes -- just looked at the
  traces (but I'm reasonably willing to do maintenance on it).

This sounds good to me.  What can I do to help?
