<grin> Yeah. The `make update' you ran after installing world
screwed your /etc/termcap symlink. This is now fixed in HEAD (I think
by corecode... you can find a reference in the `commits' newsgroup, if
you care).
In any case, if you check /etc/termcap, you'll see it points to
/misc/termcap, which is wrong. Remove the link and recreate it
pointing to /usr/share/misc/termcap.
