`locate xterm-5250` returned only one match in /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-5250

Not sure exactly what I'm looking for in the strace...  It seems to confirmat 
the
correct file, though:

access("/usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-5250", R_OK) = 0
open("/usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-5250", O_RDONLY) = 5

What do I look for in /etc/termcap?  I've never changed it.

Using the following RedHat packages:

termcap-9.12.6-15
ncurses-4.2-25
