The X/Open curses specification[0] and ncurses documentation[1] both state that subwindows must be deleted before the main window. Deleting the windows in the wrong order causes a double-free with NetBSD's curses implementation. To fix this, keep track of the original window object in the subwindow object, and keep a reference to the original for the lifetime of the subwindow.

The Python C API ================ The C API is divided into these sections: 1. ``Include/``: Limited API 2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details 3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can change between minor releases 4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_ .. _in the developer guide: https://devguide.python.org/c-api/
