It seems that the termcap entry for xterm was substantially changed between 4.8-release and 4.9-release. One change was the removal of of the "bs" capability which /usr/games/hack requires. That capability is documented as being obsolete and that programs shouldn't depend on it, so it seems that the bug is in /usr/games/hack rather than termcap. Most of the programs in /usr/games are old and hasn't been updated in a long while, so it isn't exactly surprising that things break eventually as the rest of the system changes. (The termcap code in /usr/games/hack doesn't seem to have been changed since it was first imported back in 1994.) -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
