Would it be possible for the initscr's expected behavior to be changed
to return an error code when it has issues with the return value of
newterm instead of simply exiting?  The ability to deal with this
(especially when the library has been wrapped into other languages)
would be helpful.

The usual reason for exiting is because the terminal description was
not found.  You can make the same check using other calls such as
newterm.
