Sorry, something went wrong.
…ing (pythonGH-151696) The module-global curses_screen_encoding stored a borrowed pointer to the encoding owned by the window returned by the first initscr() call. That window can be deallocated while unctrl() and ungetch(), which have no window of their own, still use the pointer to encode non-ASCII characters. Keep a private copy of the encoding instead.
