+a portability problem is introduced by this analysis:
 An OpenBSD developer adapted the internal library function from ncurses

+to port NetBSD's termcap-based \fBtput\fP to terminfo.

 Portable applications should not rely upon this feature;
 ncurses provides it to support applications written
 specifically for OpenBSD.
