garbled display from mutt-devel?

[Andrew Sullivan]

Hello,

I recently was adding some packages from the ports collection, and in
the process my formerly-working mutt-devel installation went away. 
I've reinstalled it, but I now get garbled display in any mailbox. 
Specifically, wide characters, and especially the arrows for threads,
no longer display correctly.  So, where once I'd have had the little
line with the arrow, I get this:

?~T~T?~T~@>

This happens although I have not changed the terminal setting at all. 
As I say, it used to work, but I have no recollection of how I
installed it that time (since it was more than a year ago).

It happens irrespective of what locale I use.  Some wide glyphs,
however (particularly CJK glyphs) appear correctly.

I have a suspicion that it's because the program is linked against
libncurses instead of libncursesw.  How can I convince it to pick up
libncursesw?

To contact the developers, please mail to <mutt-dev at mutt.org>.
To report a bug, please visit http://bugs.mutt.org/.

And the reason I think it's not using libncursesw:

ajs$ otool -L `which mutt` | grep curs
        /opt/local/lib/libncurses.5.dylib (compatibility version
5.0.0, current version 5.0.0)


This is on a PB G4, 10.4.8.
