The reason we have this define defined in global.h is to avoid a
problem with older AIX compiler/header files.
If we remove this, then we will instead get a problem with other AIX
systems :(

Do you know why the define causes a problem?
bool should never be defined in curses.h when compiling with a C++
compiler...

Thanks a lot for the clear description!
I will instead fix this by changing the name of _my_b_write to
something that doesn't start with an underscore to fix this!
(This is a more portable solution)
