Description ywata 2001-02-21 06:40:02 UTC 
When you restart all the printer with lpc's "restart all" command and your environment defines TERMCAP, lpc tries to restart your $TERM entriy.
It is because lpc first tries to initialize your terminal and the initialization cause to set toprec(defined in libc/gen/getcap.c) which is declared as static variable. And then lpc read printcap entries through the same interface in which toprec is already defined.

How-To-Repeat: (1) In your shell environment, define TERM and TERMCAP appropriately.
(2) Use "restart all" command in lpc.
Lpc tries to restart undefined $TERM entry.

I cannot duplicate this on a -STABLE system.  Is this still a problem?
