Printf goes to a buffer, which is not necessarily flushed
until you do input using a stdio function, or explicitly
call fflush(stdout).
Generally speaking, if you have started curses, all your
output should be done using curses routines, so that the
curses library knows about it, and does the right thing
for refresh, maintaining the current cursor location so
the next printf() goes to the right place, etc..
