Ok, I've tracked down where the error is happening, but I don't know enough
about curses to suggest where it should go from here. It does appear to be the
version of ncurses that Ubuntu 13.10 uses that's causing problems, version
5.9+20130608. The issue stems from a change in ncurses/base/lib_overlay.c,
here's the relevant part of the diff to copywin (left is vanilla ncurses-5.9
from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/, right is ncurses-5.9+20130608
obtained by 'sudo apt-get source ncurses'):

The failing test passes 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1 for sminrow, smincol, dminrow,
dmincol, dmaxrow, dmaxcol, which fails the dmaxrow >= dminrow check and copywin
returns -1 (ERR). Changing the test to call with 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 prevents the
failure, but does ugly things to the tty when the process ends.
