This is an old bug, but in a new code base, so I'm sending it to
testers.
Under some circumstances, TERM winds up being set to "unknown" instead
of the proper terminal type:
* When you log in as root via xlogin
* When you log in remotely as root via rlogin
* When you log in remotely as root via telnet
If I rlogin or telnet as myself, TERM is set properly (to "xterm",
presumably taken from the value of TERM in the local session), even if
I move my .cshrc aside so my dotfiles don't get run.
On a Sun, TERM is set properly in all three cases.
