I came from issue5391. Here is quote of Victor's message.

>* msvcrt.putch(char), msvcrt.ungetch(char): msvcrt has also:

>length=0 or length > 1?).

And msvcrt.ungetwch() calls _ungetch not _ungetwch. Here is the patch
hopefully fixing these issue. (I cannot test wide version of functions
because VC6 don't have them)
