   That was an interesting exercise.

   mc won't run, it says:

Unknown terminal: wsvt25

   ...and tells me to check my TERM variable.

   pkg_select takes a dump instantly.

   The fact that you so calmly suggest I use wsvt25, and how my NetBSD
seems to be kicking and screaming about that same TERM variable makes me
feel a sensation some people would call "panic"[1]. Is there something
seriously broken about my installation?
