No there is no data. The problem isn't with wgetch() but actually with
select on stdin. If I'm in a pthread, select will wait properly. If I hit
one character select just starts returning all the time (with a 0, oddly
enough) even though I read the character. It must have something to do with
the controlling terminal or something.
