New submission from Martin Liška <marxin.li...@gmail.com>:

Note -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 will come newly with GCC12. So I noticed the following 
error:

demo.py:
```python
import curses

curses.initscr()
curses.unget_wch('a')
```

Error message:
*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated

So as seen __wcrtomb_chk is called with buflen == 1 and the function aborts if:

size_t
__wcrtomb_chk (char *s, wchar_t wchar, mbstate_t *ps, size_t buflen)
{
  /* We do not have to implement the full wctomb semantics since we
     know that S cannot be NULL when we come here.  */
  if (buflen < MB_CUR_MAX)
    __chk_fail ();

  return __wcrtomb (s, wchar, ps);
}

Where MB_CUR_MAX == 6.

So the question is if the issue is in libcurses library (that is compiler with 
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3), or in Modules/_cursesmodule.c?
