There is nothing wrong with getmaxx. This is sloppy coding by the gdb developers. They are getting
away with it because ncurses is returning ERR when passed a NULL win pointer whereas NetBSD does not.
It looks like we are going to have to check the win pointer for NULL for every call that has that
parameter.  It is a waste of cycles to cover for lazy coding but unless we do it we will see more of
these issues crop up in future.
