Thanks to Joe Mario <mario_at_zk3.dec.com> for his solution:

This solved my problem.
Please note, the section of the release notes Joe mentions is:
8.3 Nonconforming Curses Library
DIGITAL UNIX Version 4.0 included a new X/Open-Compliant
Internationalized Curses library. This library was not binary
compatible with previous versions of the DIGITAL UNIX Curses
library, so compatible binaries (named libcurses.a and
libcurses.so) were shipped in separate directories for Version
4.0. In that same release, DIGITAL announced the intent to put the
compatible binaries into an obsolete subset and subsequently remove
them in future releases.
These compatible binaries have been moved into the OSFOBSOLETE425
subset for Version 4.0D and will be removed in the next major
release of DIGITAL UNIX.
As you can see, there is no mention of COBOL.
Thanks..
