bug in libcurses.a

[Rick Wessman]

There is a bug in the "getsh" function in the setupterm.c module
that affects machines whose characters are signed. In fact, "pg"
will dump core every time with this bug.

VAXes and PDP-11 don't have this problem, because they use a define
instead of the function.

Ironically, the comment before the function states that this
function works on machines that have sign extension.

Here are the diffs:

  	return rv;
  }
