+Windows Curses Display Infinite Loop
+Description of problem:
+The out-of-the-box `qemu-system-x86_64 -display curses` on Windows loops forever while displaying "VGA Blank Mode" instead of booting like `qemu-system-x86_64` does.
+
+This is caused by an infinite loop in the below simplified code in `curses_refresh` in `ui/curses.c`:
+```
+    int chr;
+    // ...trimmed
+    while (1) {
+        /* while there are any pending key strokes to process */
+        chr = console_getch(&maybe_keycode);
+
+        if (chr == -1) 
+            break;
+    // ...trimmed
+    }
+```
+`console_getch` has return type `wint_t`. However, on Windows, `wint_t` is `unsigned short`. Therefore when `console_getch` returns -1, the -1 value of `unsigned short` will be silently converted into the `int` value 65535. This causes `65535 == -1` to always be false, and the loop will never break. I can send a patch to qemu-devel which retypes `chr` to `wint_t` and replaces occurences of -1 with `WEOF` (an alias for `(wint_t) -1`).
+Steps to reproduce:
+1. Install `qemu-w64-setup-20250326.exe` Windows qemu from https://qemu.weilnetz.de/w64/2025/
+2. Run `./qemu-system-x86_64 -display curses`
+3. "VGA Blank Mode" will appear on the screen forever
