>Description:
Recently I noticed that pressing 'F1' in mutt doesn't print up
the manual any more; instead it prints some obscure error.
I've tracked this down to the "xterm" termcap entry in
termcap 1.70 (which is 1.68.2.1 in netbsd-1-6).
If I grab a copy of termcap 1.68 and set $TERMCAP to the path
of that, or I set $TERM to something else (e.g, "vt220"),
things work.
Obviously then, something changed in rev 1.70 that caused this
problem. It's annoying, and I'm sure it affects more than
just mutt.
>How-To-Repeat:
see above.
>Fix:
Revert change, or hassle jdc to fix the entry in another way :)
