infocmp posible bug

[Peter Radisson]

Hi,
i was playing with infocmp to learn about long and short names so i can
use tput better.

I am using the current version with opensuse
infocmp -V
ncurses 6.1.20180317

when i was dumping the xterm capabilities i noted that the long name
version has one entry that the short version is missing. So far i
understand is there for any long name also a short name, so this may
indicate an error.

                                               max_colors#8,

comparing shows
        bce=back_color_erase
        ???=backspaces_with_bs
        cols#80=columns#80

hope that helps
