The offending termcap entry uses features that are outside the termcap
spec (these features were borrowed from terminfo, which is a much more
versatile and complex facility). Adding support for those features to
GNU termcap is a lot of work, so when this problem was first reported,
the decision was not to invest all that work, and instead tell users
to upgrade their curses library.
