During the upgrade process of one of the machines to Mint 22,
I kept running ./irqtop now and then (having a suspicion),
and noticed that after the upgrade of libncurses, ./irqtop
worked correctly.

To verify, I built and installed a recent ncurses locally on
this Mint 21 machine, and ./irqtop then worked fine.  After
a 'make uninstall' of that recent ncurses, ./irqtop showed
"(null)" again on a small terminal.

Sorry for the false alarm.
