Title:
  multiple curses initializations fail to restore terminal properly

Status in Python:
  Fix Committed
Status in python2.6 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in python2.6 source package in Lucid:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: python2.6

  When trying to open and close multiple curses sessions within python,
  the terminal is not restored to a clean state after the second and
  successive sessions.

  A simple example:

  import curses

  def main():
      w = curses.initscr()
      curses.endwin()
      w = curses.initscr()
      curses.endwin()

  if __name__ == "__main__":
      main()

  Code is tested to work on a Fedora Core 5 machine and exits with a
  clean terminal, but produces a garbled terminal on Ubuntu 9.10 which
  requires a 'reset' call.

  python2.6 package is version 2.6.4-0ubuntu2
  libncurses5 package is version 5.7+20090803-2ubuntu2
