Proposed fix

Description of problem:
The newwin(0,0,0,0) doesn't work, but it should according to man page:
> A new full-screen window is created by calling newwin(0,0,0,0)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ncurses-5.8-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install powertop
2. powertop
  
Actual results:
There is no tab-bar.

Expected results:
There should be tab-bar.

Additional info:
Apparently this is a regression because the code for auto-detection of window size is still there, but by-passed.

See

I'm considering a 5.9 with this fix, plus the post-5.8
fixes for the Ada95 binding.
