TERMCAP=abc is probably not a valid termcap, but should this cause a core dump ?

What value for TERMCAP should work, besides the name of a termcap file ?
Anyhow, if I step through the code in tgetent (termcap.c:415), it only tests
whether TERMCAP is set, and whether it does start witch a '/' (in which case it
is considered a file).
