I think you should use <cursesw.h> when you use Curses in C++ programs.  
I looked into that header (it's in lang/cxx directory) and it seems that 
it should solve your problems if you include it instead of <curses.h>.  
Please try this and see if it helps.

One minor point: cursesw.h includes curses.h conditioned on a symbol 
_G_HAVE_CURSES which is currently set to 0.  You might need to edit 
cursesw.h to make it always include curses.h.
