>Description:
The recent changes to "termcap.src" broke the "screen" program (version
3.9.5 from "pkgsrc"). It dies with this message:

TERMCAP overflow - sorry.

With "$TERM" set to "vt100" or an older "termcap" database it still works fine.

>How-To-Repeat:
Start "screen" in a xterm window.

>Fix:
Except for backing out the latest changes I don't know one.
