$ echo 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 | ./w

>Fix:
           while ((ch = getwchar()) != WEOF) {
                   if ((w = wcwidth(ch)) > 0)
                           column += w;
-                  if (column >= 20) {
+                  if (column > 20) {
                           putwchar(L'\n');
-                          column = 0;
+                          column = w;
                   }
                   putwchar(ch);
                   if (ch == L'\n')
                           column = 0;
           }


	Maybe you would like to fix it some other way.
