Same bug, I think: if any num. capability has a value >0x7fff
(INT16_MAX), then that terminfo entry should get "promoted" to use
32-bit integers. This isn't happening.
... is what I said, but, that's not right. Since this output is from
the _ncurses infocmp_ rather than the BSD one, that clamping is expected,
(so Tom Dickey told me), when ncurses isn't compiled with `--enable-widec'.
You can see this happening when you install ncurses:
```
$ make install
[...]
/bin/sh ./run_tic.sh
** Building terminfo database, please wait...
Running sh ../../ncurses-6.4/misc/shlib tic to install /tmp/N/share/terminfo ...
You may see messages regarding extended capabilities, e.g., AX.
These are extended terminal capabilities which are compiled
using
tic -x
If you have ncurses 4.2 applications, you should read the INSTALL
document, and install the terminfo without the -x option.
