>Description:

(FreeBSD 5.0-p2)
When TERM=xterm, the nethack program, as built from <ports>/games/nethack
just exits with:

$ nethack
Terminal must backspace.

This seems to be a problem in the termcap/info entry for "xterm"
(proper capability missing?).  It did not occur on FreeBSD 4.7.

>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:

Workaround: set TERM=vt220 for problematic programs.
