Mandrake cooker (currently glibc-2.2.3, termcap-11.0.1-4mdk) compiledwith termcap, no ncurses.tgetflag() returns 0 for both unset andnonexsiting flags, which means that $termcap[cap] returns "no" foralmost everything except numeric capabilities. As example:


bor@localhost% print $termcap[ae]
no

even when `ae' is string capability and is defined.

The only possible solution seems to check for string first; at leastthen existing string caps will be returned correctly.
