argent(2) ~$ ls -l /usr/share/misc/termc*
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   206791 Mar 26 10:02 /usr/share/misc/termcap
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1339392 Mar 26 10:02 /usr/share/misc/termcap.db

However, it is seeming like termcap.db isn't getting found, since it
runs correctly when I run screen with TERM set to xterm but fails when
TERM is set to linux (as it does automatically using either of my
standard terminal emulators).

Thanks,
Jim
