Looks like your termcap/terminfo is not alright. Have you ever tried
"TERM=vt52" or even "TERM=dumb"?  (Ah, by the way, you quoted "term=...",
which should really be "TERM=...", i. e. uppercase.)

Maybe you should recompile and relink with ncurses (-> Petr), the curses
library is really obsoleted.

Anyway, I think that these problems are beyond the scope of the MiNTLib,
you probably won't find the errorr there.
