Further, further update!.  That above didn't fix it, so I installed ALL 
the patches from:

ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/5.9/

and it still breaks wavemon.  The wavemon code maintainer got back to me 
though:

"Thanks a lot for your help with this. I had a quick look at the 
slackbuild, since it is an upstream patch, it is very well possible that 
I will have to update part(s) of wavemon in order to cooperate with the 
changes in the API."

So it looks like an API change.  There is nothing we can do now until 
wavemon gets fixed, I guess.

In the meantime, I will revert my ncurses back to 14.0 build (which is 
basically the same as 14.1 but without any patches applied).

system/wavemon -> broken in 14.1
