+        Fix unlikely core dump in init_tty, and simplify terminfo case.
+        * term.c (init_tty) [TERMINFO]: Fix check for buffer overrun.
+        The old version incorrectly dumped core if malloc returned a
+        buffer containing only non-NUL bytes.
+        (init_tty): Do not allocate or free termcap buffers; the
+        struct does that for us now.
+        * termchar.h (TERMCAP_BUFFER_SIZE) [!TERMINFO]: New constant.
+        (struct tty_display_info): Define members termcap_term_buffer and
+        termcap_strings_buffer only if !TERMINFO, since terminfo doesn't
+        use them.  Allocate them directly in struct rather than indirectly
+        via a pointer, to simplify init_tty.
+
         * frame.c (check_minibuf_window): Initialize 'window' properly,
         so that Emacs reliably aborts later if 'window' is not initialized.
