[DRE-maint] Bug#736571: ruby-ncurses example program does not work.

[Yukiharu YABUKI]

Package: ruby-ncurses
Version: 1.3.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

I installed ruby-ncurses package. I'd like to know how to use
ruby-ncurses. I ran example programs in
'/usr/share/doc/ruby-ncurses/examples/*.rb' I met 2 bugs in
read_line.rb and tclock.rb with ruby1.9 package.

(1) ruby_line.rb looks like ok. When you hit any key. you will
    see error message below.

abuki at yelona:~/src/ruby/ruby-ncurses/examples$ ruby read_line.rb 
read_line.rb:36:in `block in read_line': bad value for range (ArgumentError)
	from read_line.rb:20:in `loop'
	from read_line.rb:20:in `read_line'
	from read_line.rb:62:in `<main>'

(2) tclock.rb does not start. You will see

abuki at yelona:~/src/ruby/ruby-ncurses/examples$ ruby tclock.rb
tclock.rb:51:in `mvaddch': can't convert String into Integer (TypeError)
	from tclock.rb:51:in `plot'
	from tclock.rb:91:in `dline'
	from tclock.rb:177:in `<main>'

I ran sample program in stable and unstable. Both of them can 
reproduceed the errors.

Best
Yukiharu.
