I'm having trouble here as follows, wonder if you have the same trouble
at MIT or if it is something that has been fixed.

When logging in to a Linux system as a dialup, using /etc/termcap, the
tset command in .login seems to set the TERM variable to the second
name of the terminal as given in /etc/termcap.  In the termcap as supplied
the second name for a vt102 is "vt100 w/adv. video" and setenv complains
about too many arguments.  I've tried adding a second field, either saying
vt102 twice or saying "dec-vt102" between vt102 and "vt100 w/adv.video"  and
this causes zwgc -ttymode to do a segmentation fault.
