Infinite loop with define_key() and TERM=xterm

[John McCutchan]

Hello,

I have noticed this bug in ncurses for many years now. Here is a sample
program that causes ncurses to get into an infinite loop. This only
happens when TERM=xterm. If TERM=linux it does not cause a problem.

#include <ncurses.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    initscr();

    keypad(stdscr, TRUE);

    define_key("\eO", 720);

    endwin();
}
