That seems to be identical to the termcap file I have installed.
(Except for the mtime of course.)
I can't reproduce your problem either.

Sounds odd.  The last time that file was changed in the RELENG_4 branch
was in May 2003, and the last time it was changed in -CURRENT was in
August 2003.
I would think somebody would have noticed the problem by now, if it
really was a problem with the termcap file from the cvs repository.

I am quite certain it is a local problem at your end.

What value is your TERM environment variable set to?
