The library should handle it (since all of the data are valid).

Incidentally, I checked Solaris curses, thinking to make it compatible
(whether to forbid movement outside the scrolling regions or not...),
but Solaris curses also dumped core.

ditto for NetBSD curses (I could digress).

Solaris curses does no error-checking.
NetBSD curses might sometime do error-checking.

ncurses tries to do error-checking ;-)
