I'm seeing some weirdness w/ the OSX termcap implementation and
would appreciate it if someone could doublecheck something.

I wanted to replace the stock /usr/share/misc/termcap w/ the official
esr one but emacs kept telling me that my terminal wasn't defined.

I thought it was a termcap problem. Now it seems like using the stock
termcap or the esr one, that tgetent doesn't return a valid terminal type
if the type definition contains a 'tc' type entry. It seems like it'll
only accept a full definition w/o 'tc'. Taht is using either the Apple
termcap or the esr one.

TIA,
Howard
