I've found that this is because curses uses a global variable "state":

Can both variants of inkey() co-exist?
I would just make both decalarations static.
Hmm, I could not find a description in SUSv4 on what happens if both
single- and wide-character interfaces are used in the same terminal.
I suppose that it is not a best practice, but the question is
whether there are applications depending on the current behavior.
"state" was turned into global when wide curses was merged:

Brett, Ruibiao, do you remember why?
Thanks,
