Infinite loop generating terminfo.5 with bash 2.05

[Samuel Mikes]

Hi there,

  I got an infinite loop while running MKterminfo.sh; read kept
returning '.ad'.  Below is the change I made to work around it.  My
system is:

GNU bash, version 2.05.0(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnulibc1)
Linux kernel 2.0.36 (Slackware dist)
