It's not supposed to release the memory.  endwin() just restores your
tty to a sane mode so you can shell.  As soon as you return from the shell,
you may do a refresh() and poof, you've got your screen back, everything in
place to continue executing.  But one user having 90 of these, a bit beyond
my remembering how far down the stack I am.
