1435	getstr function in ncurses egg	andrea	felix winkelmann	"Hi,
I'm not expert about Chicken Scheme and easyffi, so I tried to read the source of the ncurses egg but I did not come up with it.
I'm using Chicken 4.13 and the last version of the egg (i.e. 1.6) installed with ""chicken-install ncurses"".
The problem is this:

{{{
(require-extension ncurses)

(let ((stdscr (initscr)) (str (make-string 10)))
  (getstr str)
  (addstr str)
  (getch))
}}}

The error is this:
{{{
Error: bad argument type - not a pointer: ""          ""
}}}

It has been a similar problem: https://bugs.call-cc.org/ticket/158#no2
but it says that it has been solved now (but I still obtain an error, different from the one mentioned).
