>Description:

The behavior in case (beg_line + num_lines) exceeds LINES(win->maxy)
in xcurses/wredrawln
(https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xcurses/redrawwin.html).

Though not explicitly mentioned, I the sensible behavior is to only
mark the lines after beg_line till the end of the window. (ncurses
does this)

Current NetBSD curses implementation marks last num_lines,
i.e. [LINES-num_lines, LINES) in this case.

This change also makes sense as for a window with win->maxy = 5,
beg_line = 2 and num_lines = 8 gives segmentation fault, using the
proposed behavior not only we be more reasonable but also protecting
against the seg fault.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
There is a quick short fix to this. Instead of setting 
line = win->maxy - n; 
we should set
n = win->maxy - line;
