System V.2 Curses Bug #5

User calls to "mvscanw()" and/or "mvwscanw()" cause "__sscans()"to be undefined
when the program is being loaded (at "compile" time). In other words, the
C routine "_sscans()" was not loaded. This is because _sscans() doesn't
exist, but "__sscans()" does exist. (Remember this very problem with the
BSD curses (it was in 4.1BSD or 4.2BSD)?)
The simpliest solution is to change the call in "mvscanw()" (screen/mvscanw.c)
and in "mvwscanw()" (screen/mvwscanw.c) from "_sscans()" to "__sscans()".
