Bug was found because of bug #56010: if there a SIGWINCH can get nano past a wait(), then it can do that also elsewhere.  (Probably also when reading the output of an external command, ^R^X, but I'll get to that later.)

To reproduce, run 'nano --ignore NEWS' and type ^T.  Then, quickly, while spell is busy building its list of misspelled words, resize the screen.  (I type <Alt+Space> plus the shortcut for the resizing option, and then press and hold <Right>.)  Result: "Sorry! Nano crashed!  Code: 6.  Please report a bug."  Sometimes it is code 11.

Bug exists since at least nano-2.4.3.  Then in a different form (a malloc assertion fails) and leaving the terminal a bit messed up.
