termcap and vi and sc

I've had a problem with the uts30 termacap on out sco xenix 2.1.3 system:

Everytime i scrolled up, either by ^Y, ^U, or by deleting lines, in vi i would
get the error message "OOPS" printed on my screen.  After changing a variety of
things in the termcap for this terminal, i discovered that dotting out sc (save
cursor) would fix the problem....  I deleted some other stuff and kept sc in,
thinking that i had exceeded the max limit for an entry, but it didn't work.
Rc (restore cursor) *is* defined.  I don't understand why this would occur; it
doesn't seem to be affecting the performance of vi (at least at 9600).  Does
anyone have an explanation?
