 vt100 terminfo description does have smul/rmul (underlining) sequences
 defined, but they include delays "$<2>", which is what you see.
 
      A delay in milliseconds may appear anywhere in a string
      capability, prefixed with a dollar sign and enclosed by angled
      brackets, such as $<5>.
 
 So the problem is that apropos doesn't use terminfo correctly.
