Thanks for this explanation, it seemed to provide all the details I
needed to fix it myself.  I tried it but failed miserably since I
stumpled upon a dozen other bugs while trying to fix this one.
Therefore I first made the libcurses test framework a little more reliable.

Could you perhaps fix this one?  You know the code way better than I do,
with all the subtleties around aliasing and SYNCH_IN and SYNCH_OUT and
the various code paths that are taken by all the functions.
