The new termcap causes my xterm to segmentation fault.
When I back out just the termcap line of this update
in cygwin setup, xterm fires up fine.
Sigh. I think I know what the problem is. The fix is simple, but...
Some of the terminfo entries require more than 1KB to represent in
termcap format. I was using 'tic -T' to "go ahead and use it anyway".
Looks like I can't get away with that. I'll investigate and roll a new
release.
BTW, how are you invoking xterm? What shell?
It is started as part of my .xinitrc, so bash I guess. I could not
see the actual error there. I see the segmentation fault then I
try starting an xterm from an rxvt window (running bash). This is
with X started. With the working termcap, saying "xterm" in the
rxvt window creates an xterm window within the X window, as expected.
