Okay, I've updated the terminfo package using xterm.terminfo from 
XFree86-4.2.0.  However, I had to get that file from the original xc- 
source tarballs; there still seems to be a packaging bug in xfree86 
itself.  (btw, this predates XFree86-4.2.0, and is not specific to 
cygwin.  My Mandrake-8.1 box is missing that file (although it has 
xterm.termcap) and it's using 4.1.0...)

Anyway, if anybody has scrogged their terminfo database, the fix is to 
reinstall the "terminfo" package.
