>Description:
Entering text into a field with Curses getnstr() family of functions does not correct handle the behaviour of ^U kill char.
>How-To-Repeat:
Short test program, instructions at end:
```
#include <curses.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char buf[80];
if (initscr() == NULL) {
return 1;
}
echo();
cbreak();
addstr(" 123456789.123456789.123456789.1234567890\n");
standout();
addstr("[ ]\n");
mvgetnstr(1, 1, buf, sizeof (buf));
standend();
endwin();
return 0;
}
/*
Type in a string like "abcdefghi", ^U, 1234.
Observe how there is a gap between 1 and 2.
Appears kill char ^U not handled properly.
Backspace / erase char (^H) works just fine.
