>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 :)
