Segfault using `watch -c` with ANSI escapes in output


I'm seeing a segfault from using `watch -c` with commands that output
ANSI colour sequences, which is a bit sad given the whole point of the
`-c` is to get the ANSI colour sequences to be displayed.

Simple test case:

    $ echo -e '\e[0;32mGreen\e[0;0m' >escapes

    $ cat escapes  # Text is green in my terminal
    Green

    $ xxd escapes
    00000000: 1b5b 303b 3332 6d47 7265 656e 1b5b 303b  .[0;32mGreen.[0;
    00000010: 306d 0a                                  0m.

    $ watch -c cat escapes
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)

    $ cat watch.exe.stackdump

This works as expected when using `watch` without the `-c` option, and
when using `watch -c` with output that doesn't include any ANSI colour
sequences.

Output from `cygcheck -srv` is attached, and `cygcheck -f
/usr/bin/watch.exe` returns `procps-ng-3.3.11-1`.
