Whatever your program is doing with the delete key, I'm sure it would be
simple to change the behavior.  Of course, we have to find out what's
going on first.  ;-)

Ncurses uses termcap/terminfo.  So the behavior should be similar.  But
I'm not sure if doing termcap/terminfo handling directly is worth the
trouble.  Curses is supposed to hide all that.

This may be the problem.  If the delete key generates an escape sequence,
then your application will treat it as an exit command.  Just for testing,
try changing the exit key to something else besides ESC.
