 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).
