[issue16293] curses.ungetch raises OverflowError when given -1

[Julian Berman]

New submission from Julian Berman:

The following code now raises an OverflowError on 3.3:

import curses

def test_screen(screen):
    screen.nodelay(True)
    key = screen.getch()
    screen.nodelay(False)
    curses.ungetch(key)

curses.wrapper(test_screen)

or equivalently just

def test_screen(screen):
    curses.ungetch(-1)
