A brief synopsis of the problem:
In the termcap entry for the 'xterms' window created following an xswitch
from XV11 to XV10, a multiple entry occured for the number of columns
and the number of rows
eg :co#80:li#49: ......... :co#80:li#64
The first entry is the correct size. Is the second entry there by mistake
or does it represent the size of the 'parent' window, which in this case is
the XV11 login window. I am running 5.5T on VAX R/C m1-272-1.mit.edu.
My rvd server for vsusr & vssys is persephone at this time.
Any attempt to parse the termcap string for device parameters should stop
at the first match (in this case the correct one) but it does not make
sense to have two entries with the same key. This might cause a bug in some
other system dependent code.
Here is my entire environment...
