bash, zsh and tcsh print "Termcap entry too long" when setting terminal type to vt102 (or larger like vt220). I don't know when this changed and why, I recompiled the shells on FreeBSD 2 and they work now. Fix: Recompile the stuff. I guess this isn't dangerous, just wondering what has changed and will it affect other programs too (none noticed yet)? How-To-Repeat: I guess this happens if you take binary from FreeBSD 1 and try to run on it FreeBSD 2 with compatibility shlibs installed.
State Changed From-To: open->closed binary incompatibility problem between FreeBSD 1.x and FreeBSD 2.x that recompiling applications under new environment solves
