Has anyone come across the following PD curses error?

If I run my curses program and continually interract with it for
a period of time then there are no problems. If, however, I start
it and then leave it for a few minutes and then go back to it then
the first key I press causes a segmentation fault.

If the program is sitting there then none of my code is being executed and
the only function which will be running will be getch() or wgetch() or
what ever (assuming that they are set up as blocking functions). So I can
only conclude that the problem is with curses and not my code.

Can anyone show me that I am wrong?
