Insert mode is broken in fbterm ('echo -e "\033[4h"' causes Segmentation Fault).

This bug causes crashes with some programs. For example, the original vi (default vi variant in Arch Linux) produces segfault each time when inserting at the beginning of the line.

The problem is in using the unsigned variable for storing negative value in fbterm code. It seems that fbterm is not maintained upstream anymore, so I suggest my patch here (see attachment).

Additional info:
* package version 1.7.0-6
   fbterm-insertmode.patch (0.5 KiB)
This task depends upon
