umm.  as far as I can tell from the patch, there's no way your
code can work in a situation where try/finally wouldn't do exactly
the same thing.

if you *do* get different results (try inserting "raise whatever"
in the try clause to test this), it might be that you've stumbled
upon a real bug (either in Python or in the curses C bindings)...
