Yes, modifying the way they're linked to include the soname did indeed fix
the problem, thank you.

Fixed that by rebuilding a new curses.

Shall I bore you with my current problem?  The kernfs and procfs don't
seem to work - the system just panics if I try to mount them.  But don't
worry - I'll go RTFM to find out why.  :)

The whole ident problem I had was because stupid me had a kernel with a
not-bsd filename and no link to the bsd name, so ident...  You get the
picture.

 Thanks for all your help so far.
