Subject:   Strange Termcap behavior on 4.0-Stable

When I telnet to two of my systems and su to root. The terminal setup
for ansi or cons25 goes away. For example, if I do a
"/usr/src/release/sysinstall/rtermcap ansi" as root, nothing appears.
If I exit and do it on my original login, I see 

ansi|any ansi terminal with pessimistic
assumptions:co#80:li#24:cl=50\E[;H\E[2J:
bs:am:cm=\E[%i%d;%dH:nd=\E[C:up=\E[A:ce=\E[K:ho=\E[H:pt:

This doesn't happen on my system with a buildworld of 10 May 2000.
Something has happened and it really messes up trying to edit from a
telnet session as root. The setup for xterm's still works but I can't
telnet in from a Window's system.

This also messes up building sysinstall. The generated code for the
ansi and 5 or 6 cons.... is totally bogus and kills the compile.
