Okay, I've updated the terminfo package using xterm.terminfo from
XFree86-4.2.0. However, I had to get that file from the original xc-
source tarballs; there still seems to be a packaging bug in xfree86
itself. (btw, this predates XFree86-4.2.0, and is not specific to
cygwin. My Mandrake-8.1 box is missing that file (although it has
xterm.termcap) and it's using 4.1.0...)
Anyway, if anybody has scrogged their terminfo database, the fix is to
reinstall the "terminfo" package.
