>Description:
See

Revision 1.37

That's incorrect (noticed in regression testing Cdk, which works
with other curses implementations).  Compare with

http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/lib/libcurses/screen/derwin.c#57

It works properly with ncurses of course.
>How-To-Repeat:
Cdk is here:
http://invisible-island.net/cdk/

configure && make all
cd examples
./alphalist_ex

The 20050524 snapshot dumps core (newer versions won't dump core, but will simply exit with an error).
>Fix:
Use ncurses.
