  When getting control strings from the termcap in tcapopen (UNIX only),
the result is not check to see if the string is not present. This
results in a call to strcpy with the NULL string as the source, and 
will cause a memory fault on some machines.

  As before this is for the separate version of tcap.c, not the one
included in emacssrc.arc.

  When the VT100 option is used, I'm not sure that the keystrokes should
even be loaded, but they shouldn't cause a memory fault.
