This is because vt100 terminals have _25_ lines and this is hard coded
into the termcap.  We choose to run on a console with more than 25 lines
and thus face the consequences.  The tset will move the cursor to the
'bottom' of the perceived screen size.  Delete the tset from your
.profile or .cshrc.  If nothing else, it's annoying.
