FWIW, Caldera OpenLinux has stopped using termcap altogether since release 2.2. Doing an rpm -qlv ncurses-termcap-devel reveals that libtermcap.so is a symlink to libncurses.
Same for Debian. However, I haven't checked ncurses and terminfo. I don't know if and how much code is shared with termcap thus I don't know if the apps might still be vulnerable. Regards, Joey -- GNU does not eliminate all the world's problems, only some of them. -- The GNU Manifesto
