Well, I hate to be brusque, but I don't maintain termcap, just terminfo. 
   I provided a termcap translation as an offhand thing; I didn't really 
think about it.  Perhaps I should have thought about it, and then not 
done it <g>.

Anyway, perhaps some codes were dropped in the terminfo -> termcap 
autoconversion.  Or perhaps my new-n-improved terminfo entry is wrong: 
but the only way to find out is to recompile less to use 
terminfo/ncurses, and run your testcase.

I don't plan on doing that; sorry.

If the *terminfo* entry breaks *existing* apps that use *ncurses*, then 
I want to know, and I'll fix it (patches gratefully accepted, etc etc). 
  Otherwise, I don't care.  Termcap is not my baby.
