I think the problem is that the old termcap file is not (and never was - I
first noticed that in Slackware, I think) compatible with ncurses.
I believe we should either
(a) drop the old termcap file, or
(b) use one that's compatible with ncurses.

there's some way to have ncurses generate a termcap file from its terminfo
db. Maybe we should investigate this. (Or the maintainer of ncurses
should.)
