        The winsertln() curses function does not appear to be
present in all versions of ncurses or native curses libraries.
That's a "bug" in them, but I got rid of that function in conjunction
with enhancing the popup handling in LYForms.c, so get the 2-6update
replacement files and your problem will go away (plus you'll have
all the latest bug fixes and enhancements, except for the ncurses
color support, multibookmark support, and mouse handling).
