Well, I've done some digging of my own, and while I am not quite sure
why this just because a problem, I do see the same behavior, and I do
have a basic idea of what the problem is. When 'lpc' is in interactive
mode, it calls EditLine so it can do history-processing. Something in
that will call a routine called cgetset(), with the intention of adding
a capability-database to *termcap* processing. However, the way these
getcap-routines work, that cgetset() call will also effect printcap
processing.
I have a fix to lpc/lpc.c which adds a call to cgetset(NULL) after the
call to el_source(...), and this fixes the problem you're seeing, and
does not seem to break anything in interactive processing. I will
commit this to current soon, unless someone knows of a reason I should
not do that...
