Bug#607028: Fix for y2k bug



Hi,
  It would be great to get John's package, or a newer version in,
not least because it contains an upstream fix for a Y2K problem
that triggers a stack overflow error if built with such checks
(as the Ubuntu binaries are); it misprints the year as 112
and thus overflows the buffer for the message.

Note I did have to swizzle line 163 of src/Makefile so that
the -lncurses was at the end.
