Sigh. I think I know what the problem is. The fix is simple, but...

Some of the terminfo entries require more than 1KB to represent in
termcap format.  I was using 'tic -T' to "go ahead and use it anyway".
Looks like I can't get away with that. I'll investigate and roll a new
release.

BTW, how are you invoking xterm? What shell?

Thanks for the report.
