Description of problem:
I am setting up an annex with dumb terminals using a  d413-unix emulation and
also Kermit-95 using a D217 emulation from my W2k box.  These are Date General
terminal emulations.  Both of these emulations exist in the termcap and terminfo
files.

The problem is that when I attempt to login using these emulations it
immediately disconnects me.  If I login with an "unknown" TERM then it lets me
in but as soon as I set the TERM it disconnects me (TERM=d413-unix ; export
TERM).  Below are two examples with the term set right (in these cases, I never
get a shell prompt when trying to connect).

If I am in BASH, I get a crash and then disconnected:
login:
Password:
Last login <snip>
malloc: block on free list clobbered
last command: TERM=d413-unix;export TERM
Stopping Myself...
   telnet <snip> closed

If I am in TCSH, I get an error and then disconnected:
login:
Password:
Last login <snip>
root: Command not found.
root: Undefined variable
telnet <snip> closed

Because both shells do it, I suspect it isn't the shell but something else.  I'm
not really sure where to search for help on this one... I dug into google groups
and found one reference to a bug in RedHat back in 6.x (18 months ago), but
nothing since then.

Any ideas? I have worked with Termcap files on DG Unix, but never ran into a
disconnect like this.

2.TERM=d413-unix ; export TERM

	

Actual Results:  Crashed session

Expected Results:  Term type set properly

Additional info:

Bug in our termcap rather...

The d413-unix termcap type ends up as a modified d216e+ terminal type. If you
read the termcap entry for it, the last line looks like:

        :sf=^J:ta=^I:up=^^PA:tc=dgkeys+15:tc=d216-dg:

The last two bits of these are the interesting ones:

    tc=dgkeys+15
    tc=d216-dg

You can't use tc= twice in a single termcap entry. This probably shouldn't segv
our binary (and I now hope that we don't have any setuid apps that use termcap;
a brief check didn't find anything but someone should check for sure). 

Anyway, if you remove the "tc=dgkeys+15" bit, this problem goes away. Put this
in bugzilla and please include my commentary. In the meantime, you can tell the
customer to change that last line to:

        :sf=^J:ta=^I:up=^^PA:tc=d216-dg:

and he should be all set.
