Woof!

If you are using an XTerm, the problem is that the xterm termcap entry was
recently changed to be more compatable with XFree86 3.3's version of
XTerm.  Unfortunately, as recently discussed on the mailing list, this
termcap entry does not work very well with X11R6.3 or earlier XTerms.  In
my hacked R6 XTerm, this results in reversed video in some curses
programs.

Try the 'xterm-r6' termcap entry and see if that fixes your reverse video
problem.

I was under the impression that the xterm termcap change was going to be
backed out, since it seems to work well *only* with XFree86 3.3's XTerm...
