This is a bug in some (all?) versions of ncurses. I explained this in
a post in comp.os.linux.development.system a while back; I don't know
if it has been fixed by the ncurses people yet.
Here's the patch (apply in the ncurses-x.y.z/ncurses directory):
--- lib_doupdate.c~ Tue Aug 27 15:28:34 1996
+++ lib_doupdate.c Tue Aug 27 14:35:23 1996

FD_SET(SP->_checkfd, &fdset);
if (select(SP->_checkfd+1, &fdset, NULL, NULL, &ktimeout) != 0)
{
fflush(SP->_ofp);
+ _nc_signal_handler(TRUE);
return OK;
}
}
(I hope maintainers of ncurses see this)

I fully support the President's proposal to test driver's license
applicants for drugs. Any plan to reduce driving is worth a try.
