[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] fix curses update

[Bernhard Kauer]

If a terminal is resized or the VGA model issues a full refresh, curses_update()
is called, which uses mvwaddchnstr() to draw a full line of characters.  
Unfortunatelly
this routine expects a null-terminated string and early aborts if a null is 
present
in the line. 

When booting an OS that zeros the VGA text buffer and later pokes single 
characters,
the console output can become unreadable.  The attached patch corrects this bug.
