 The point was that not only sysinstall affected by this problem, but any 
 application that
 may use termcap. So we either should check all applications from /bin 
 and /sbin if
 they affected by that problem and fix them or do smth else.
 
 I hope that sysinstall would be rewritten by some on before 6.release. But
 for 5.stable this could be fixed. I've already discuss this problem 
 (concerning
 sysinstall) with ru@ and he suggested a patch. I asked Eygene to write a pr
 specially to get more peoples involved to discussion of general problem.
 
 However, I can't say at this moment if we have other affected application.
