Even if there is a bug in the test or in Python that causes newscr to
become NULL - why does that not show up in other releases, or on other
systems?

Can you debug this and confirm that this call indeed sets newscr to NULL?

At the point the test is run, stdout is not closed; instead, it is a
pipe going to the build slave. Usually, all curses output shows up
in the buildbot log (which doesn't really automatically test whether
the right thing is happening - but we don't want to test the system's
curses library, anyway).
