Patch applies cleanly to the 7-STABLE, moreover, lib_getch.c from it
has the same logics and fifo_push is essentially unmodified in the
areas that are relevant for this flaw.

I had patched 7-STABLE on the test machine, brought ee from 8.x and
verified that unpatched ncurses give immediate exit, while patched
curses give working ee in respect to the SIGWINCH.

I had also mildly tested vi and sysinstall on the patched 7-STABLE
and found no visible regressions.
