System: NetBSD valkyrie 5.99.28 NetBSD 5.99.28 (VALKYRIE) #6: Sat May 1 21:46:59 EDT 2010 ocelot@valkyrie:/home/ocelot/netbsd/vfs/namei/sys/arch/amd64/compile/VALKYRIE amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:

valkyrie% ./obj/tput longname

valkyrie% 

whereas in pre-terminfo 5.99.22:

tanaqui% /usr/bin/tput longname
xterm terminal emulator (X Window System)
tanaqui% 

The problem is that prlongname() in tput copies the name out of what
it thinks is a termcap entry, but it isn't one, so it gets nothing
and/or binary garble instead.

>How-To-Repeat:

as above

>Fix:

Dunno. The long names are in the terminfo source but it's not clear
from the documentation how to get them at runtime.
