Not this problem, but I *have* had the problem wherein the console driver
decides to stop wrapping around the right edge of the screen.  This always
happens if I call a local BSD4.3 system and claim to be a vt100...
I am using unix/386 2.2l.

As an aside, I have found that in order to use the terminfo entry supplied on
uPort's BBS, it is necessary to disable the hpa, ll and vpa capabilities.
And for those of you who like their cursors full-height ("\[27;24m") or
non-blinking ("\[27;26m")...  In addition, color seems to be triggered with
"\[22;Nm" where N specifies the color: I like smso as \[22;31m with rmso
as \[22;7m.
