    What platform are you on? I can reproduce this with 2.5.1+ and trunk on
    Ubuntu. I can reproduce with a trivial C program that does the same
    thing. This could be a bug in the curses implementation. Or it could
    be misuse of the API. I don't know enough to suggest which is the case.

    The C program is:

    #include <curses.h>

int main(int argc, char**argv) {
  WINDOW *win = initscr();
  WINDOW *win2 = newwin(50, 50, 50, 50);
  redrawwin(win2);
  return 0;
}

    Perhaps a bug should be filed against curses.

    The C program does crash, but newwin() is returning NULL 
and the code should really be checking for this case.   When I try 
the Python script with 2.5-maint and 2.6-trunk, I get the error:
amk@amk:~/source/p/25$ ./python.exe ../python/curses-01.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../python/curses-01.py", line 8, in <module>
    curses.wrapper(foobar)
  File "/Users/amk/source/p/25/Lib/curses/wrapper.py", line 44, in wrapper
    return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds)
  File "../python/curses-01.py", line 4, in foobar
    winmain = curses.newwin(50,50,50,50)
_curses.error: curses function returned NULL

    I removed the import of the 'readline' module
    because I don't have it on my Mac, but that seems unlikely to
    make a difference.

    I wonder whether bpo-7384 (test_curses crash on FreeBSD) is related to this. There does seem to be some sort of readline interaction going on in that issue.
