>Release:        FreeBSD 2.0-BUILT-19950507 i386
>Environment:

	FreeBSD current (at most a week old), bash, zsh and tcsh
binaries from older FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 system, but they may be from 1.1
ages.

>Description:

	bash, zsh and tcsh print "Termcap entry too long" when setting
terminal type to vt102 (or larger like vt220).  I don't know when this
changed and why, I recompiled the shells on FreeBSD 2 and they work
now.

>How-To-Repeat:

	I guess this happens if you take binary from FreeBSD 1 and try
to run on it FreeBSD 2 with compatibility shlibs installed.

>Fix:
	
Recompile the stuff.  I guess this isn't dangerous, just wondering
what has changed and will it affect other programs too (none noticed
yet)?
