Summary: curses getkey() crash in raw mode

Initial Comment:
Using python 2.3.3 on gentoo I have the following problem:

When calling stdscr.getkey() in raw mode, the program
crashes on a terminal resize event. In cooked and
cbreak modes, the proper string is returned -
"KEY_RESIZE". This problem appeared after upgrading
from python 2.3.2, I believe. Below is a quick program
that exhibits this behavior on my machine.

#######################################################
#!/usr/bin/env python

import curses;

stdscr = curses.initscr();
curses.raw();
curses.noecho();
stdscr.keypad(1);

while(1):
  stdscr.clear();
  stdscr.addstr("Enter key: ");
  c = stdscr.getkey();
  if(c == 'q'):
    break;
  stdscr.clear();
  stdscr.addstr('"' + c + '"\n\n');
  stdscr.addstr("Press any key...");
  stdscr.getkey();

curses.noraw();
curses.endwin();
#######################################################

A couple of other notes: 
1) No exception is thrown (a try block doesn't catch it).
2) The behavior is the same using the interactive
interpreter.
3) The traceback is: File "./keyname", line 19, in ?
stdscr.getkey(); _curses.error: no input
