"Basil!"  I love it! (you know I was just kidding! :-)

I've been extracting modules from the import libs and dumping
import/export symbols from the two libncurses DLLs, but I can't seem to
find anything that looks wrong.

However... this I find strange:

file d3.c:
----------------------------------------------------------------
#include <math.h>

double my_pow( double d1, double d2 )
{
   double d;
   d = pow(d1,d2);
   return d;
}
----------------------------------------------------------------

$ gcc -g -shared -o d3.dll d3.c -lm -lc
$ objdump -x d3.dll

...
There is an import table in .idata at 0x10004000

Why is 'pow' being pulled in twice?  Maybe it's really the math lib stuff
that's tickling the linker?  This is kinda looking more like some linker
bug.  Again, I'm not sure where to go next.  It's been a while since I
dug into gcc...
