There seems to be a problem with /usr/share/misc/termcap in NetBSD 1.2-BETA
and NetBSD-current.  Apparently, the entries for vt100 and xterm no longer
have an entry for backspace (bs), which causes /usr/games/hack to fail.
I checked this out on NetBSD/sun3 and NetBSD/i386.

I brought over the termcap file from NetBSD 1.0 and put it in ~/.termcap.
This works fine.
