 I don't think your patch is going to work because AB=\E[4%dm:AF=\E[3%dm
 are not what xterm uses in order to display 256 colors. Try smth like
 
   $ test_256_colors() { local i; while [ $((i+=1)) -le 256 ]; do tput AF $i; echo -n "$*"; done; tput me; }
   $ test_256_colors '&&&'
 
 then
 
   $ export TERMCAP="$TERM:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm:$TERM"
   $ test_256_colors '&&&'
 
 Perhaps, r200369 will be MFC'd to /stable/8 when there is looming 8.1-RELEASE.
