Hi,

The 'cygwin' entry in /etc/termcap is incorrect.  It should be

	cygwin:\
		:xn@:op=\#[39;49m:im=:ei=:tc=linux:

instead of 

	cygwin:\
		:xn@:op=\#[39;49m:tc=linux:

In the 'linux' entry, 'im' and 'ei' are defined as im=\E[4h and
ei=\E[4l respectively.  However, these escape sequences are ignored by
the following code at winsup/cygwin/fhandler_console.cc:870:

    case 'h':
    case 'l':
      /* Ignore */
      break;

Because of this mistake, tcsh's command line editor cannot insert
characters correctly.
