[gnu.emacs.bug] .../info/termcap

This is kind of a trivial problem.  I imagine it's been fixed already,
but just in case it hasn't I thought I'd better tell you about it.

I had a problem using the info command to look at the termcap entry
from the dir menu (i.e. "C-h i mTermcap<RETURN>" failed).  Something
about no top node flashed in the minibuffer, but it happened to
rapidly for me to get the exact message.

I fixed the problem by changing the "^L^_" that preceeds the header
for the top node in .../info/termcap to "^_^L".

We are running a version 18.53 that was created by merging patches
acquired from wsmr-simtel20.army.mil and prep.ai.mit.edu with 18.49
source from an FSF tape.
