Small bug in tput ... it does not accept hex numbers anymore

Hi,

one of my scripts is using tput in a bash shell sript and checks
the rep feature of the XTerm.

Now I see wrong line letters and indeed if I check line graphic q
tput does throw error messages if hex is used:

  tput rep 0x71 10
  tput: unknown terminfo capability '0x71'
  qqqqqqqqqq

if I use decimal numbers it works

  tput rep 113 10
  qqqqqqqqqq

in older ncurses versions hex numbers are accepted without such
error messages.
