>Description:
        When adding something to a WINDOW with existing contents the                   
        existing contents are foobed up even though the screen space
        the existing contents occupy is not touched.

        Attached code shows how box is corrupted even though space it
        occupies is not touched.  It's possible this should be a change
        request and not a bug I didn't look the standard up.


>How-To-Repeat:
        WINDOW *win;

        initscr();
        win = newwin(LINES, COLS, 0, 0);
        box(win, 0, 0);
        wrefresh(win);
        getch();
        mvwaddstr(win, 4, 4, "I smell coffee");
        wrefresh(win);
        getch();
        endwin();
