 > I'm not sure what you mean by "Mac OS X is not a supported platform for
 ncurses".

 Sorry, that wasn't very precise. Before asking for support on the ncurses
 bug list, I found out that http://invisible-
 island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html states “And a few other platforms such
 as Mac OS X have been reported to work”, Mac OS X is neither listed in the
 “known to work”, nor in the “8-bit-charachters are known to work” section.
 So, this should have been that Mac OS X probably hasn't been tested
 officially.

 > Obviously ncurses works on Mac OS X, since both Mac OS X and MacPorts
 include it, and tons of other ports use MacPorts ncurses without issue.

 I did not say it does not work. I just found out that displaying a non-
 ASCII char using the “echo_wchar” function will cause errno != 0 to be
 set. I've attached a tiny code snippet that should illustrate the problem.
 I've tested this on Mac OS X and Linux (the only other unix platform
 that's currently available to me), and for ncurses 5.9, errno is != 0 on
 Mac OS X, 0 on linux. Replies on the ncurses-bug mailing list have been
 inconclusive, leaving me to the choice whether to set errno=0 after every
 echo_wchar() or refresh() function call, or alternatively to include the
 Mac OS X version for the time being. I'm aware that this isn't a good
 solution, I'm open to suggestions how to resolve this in some other way.
