--- Comment #4 from ov2k@yahoo.com ---
That commit seems promising.  It removes /lib/ncurses/ncurses/termcap.c and=
 I
think uses /contrib/ncurses/ncurses/tinfo/read_termcap.c instead.  If I
understand correctly, read_termcap.c is the upstream file.

If I'm reading things correctly, the problem is in _nc_tgetent().  When the
environment variable TERMCAP is not set, it simply calls get_termpath().  T=
hat
doesn't do anything with ~/.termcap.  If the environment variable TERMPATH =
is
not set, it simply falls back to the C macro TERMPATH defined in what is now
/lib/ncurses/tinfo/ncurses_cfg.h.

It looks like switching from the FreeBSD termcap.c to the upstream
read_termcap.c has caused this change in behavior.  Is this a code bug in
FreeBSD?  An upstream bug?  A documentation bug in termcap(5)?
