VERSION 6.3 AND VERSION 7 PROTERMCAP ENTRY SIZE LIMITATIONS
There is a limitation in both Version 6 and Version 7 regarding the
size in bytes of any one protermcap entry.
In Version 6, one entry cannot exceed 3000 bytes.
In Version 7, the maximum size for an entry is 8000 bytes.
Any entry that exceeds these limits could cause a problem that is
manifested as some type of memory error.
NOTE: When a protermcap entry has a line such as :tc=vt100: then the
total bytes for the vt100 entry are also included in the calculation.
WORKAROUND:
The workaround is to reduce the size of the protermcap entry. One
suggestion is to reduce the names of colors to one or two characters.
Ex. :COLOR WHITE=\E[0p:\E[0p:1\ would become
:COLOR WH=\E[0p:\E[0p:1
