Bug#29810: dpkg: dselect bombs when xterm resizes window in select

[amos@gezernet.co.il]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.31

Simply run dselect under xterm, enter the select stage (get to the
package list window, it doesn't happen in the initial help screen) and
resize the xterm window.

Dselect will exit with the following message:

|root@butch| dselect
dselect: getch failed: Interrupted system call
|root@butch|

"xterm -v" gives "XFree86 3.3.2.3", but I don't think this really matters.

Thanks.
