As I feared, it's crashing in the termcap library itself; there's nothing
we can directly do about this.

Hrm.  I'd be a bit suspicious of this; it's entirely possible that there
are termcap strings that the ncurses tgetent would accept but which the
(older) libtermcap tgetent would choke on.

Try either (a) copy /etc/termcap and append your nettle def'n to that,
or (b) edit down your ~/.termcap to contain just the rxvt and nettle
def'ns (and any that rxvt may depend on).

Either that, or you're going to have to "configure --with-curses-terminfo"
and rebuild zsh.
