Hmm, just tried it here (v1.59) and it's fine.  Bold, reverse and underline
all work.  I see that there is no bell in vi - it flashes the screen instead.
This is because there is a 'vb' escape in the xterm-xf86-v32 entry and the
vi source (common/options.c) sets flash by default.  Perhaps bell should be
the default.  The problems you are having still seem like a truncated entry
to me.  Can you run the attached program (cc -ltermcap) and mail me the
results please?

Thanks,

J
