Hmm... good question.  Theoretically, it should work.  If Cygwin has a
coherent implementation of ncurses, that is.

Honestly, I ditched the bundled ncurses extension and wrote my own.  After
examining it, I realized that the functions were returning all sorts of
different types, and there was just general inconsistency.  Plus, there was a
lot of stuff I didn't need (pads,menus,etc) that just added complexitity. 
After the rewrite, I wrapped it in a class so I can do stuff like $mywindow =
new Window('Title');  Hey, just like MFC!  :)  I'm going to be submitting
this stuff to PECL at some point.

All that said, I don't think there is anything inherently unstable about the
provided ncurses library.  It was just kind of messy.

Nice info here:  http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/tut-degan.php
