I think I have discovered what went wrong when I ran top last week and it 
dumped core.  

I was logged in to csuite with $TERM=vt320, inherited from my session on CCN.
top ran perfectly well for others, but not for me.

lynx reported "unknown terminal vt320" or similar words.

When others tried, things worked OK.  When I logged in as vt100, things 
were ok...

Upon checking, termcap includes vt320 and lots of others of that series, 
but terminfo only lists these:

csuite:~$ ls /etc/terminfo/v
vt100  vt102  vt220  vt52

I believe chebucto has a much more complete set, but I don't know if they 
need to be recompiled for each host or system type.

In view of the fact that the vt300, vt400 series is a pretty standard 
emulation, could we please include a bunch of those in the distribution?
Also install them in csuite.chebucto.ns.ca?
