procps contains two programs that use ncurses.

However, it is not using ncurses for reading from
the terminal - there is no instance of "getch" in the code.

So (pointing out that if it had, I'd be explaining how other
programs deal with getch's limited repertoire of return codes),
it seems that the problem is entirely in procps.

slabtop.c uses a select/read combination, i.e.,

...and procps is the logical place to implement the fix

For the original bug, yes, but for the bug I'm talking about (tputs not
telling about EIO errors), it is not.

Then create a new bug report telling what you want.  The bug in procps
will not be affected by any change that you're implying here.  At best,
you'll end up with the same situation that you have with getch - an
ERR return that doesn't tell why it failed.
