I'm not sure it is clear to all participants in this thread, so please excuse
me stating something obvious:

The "OOPS" is what an application gets from a call to the tgoto() function
when passing a % sequence which is not understood. A truncated termcap
entry might cause this, or a bug in the application.

Btw: this thread is happeneing on netbsd-bugs@NetBSD.org only, but not
appended to the gnats database. It would be nice if the relevant excerpts
could be forwarded to gnats-bugs@NetBSD.org.
