Owl shouldn't be setting TERMINFO internally. I'd guess that you're
trying to work around a bad default path in your ncurses build, given
this commit message
set TERMINFO so we won't lose with ncurses
but I'm unconvinced that setting TERMINFO internally is the right
solution. In particular, I set TERMINFO to /mit/gnu/share/terminfo
so that I can get a good entry for screen on Solaris. I have a
workaround of creating a symlink to there from ~/.terminfo, but
that's really suboptimal.
