>Environment:

ncurses package from packages-stable of July 5th

>Description:

	The "xterm-color" terminal type is unsupported by the ncurses
	4.2 port.  One of the reasons to use ncurses is for color support.

	bash# export TERM=xterm-color
	bash# type clear
	/usr/bin/clear
	bash# pkg_add ncurses-4.2.tgz
	bash# type clear
	/usr/local/bin/clear
	bash# /usr/local/bin/clear
	'xterm-color': unknown terminal type.
	bash# /usr/bin/clear
	'xterm-color': unknown terminal type.
	bash# pkg_delete ncurses-4.2.tgz
	bash# clear
	(the screen is cleared properly)
