>Description:

libcurses crashs when TERM is unknown
>How-To-Repeat:

1. Install editors/nano from pkgsrc.

2. Change the TERM env. variable to an unknown value:

TERM=abc

(/bin/sh claims about an unknown terminal type but sets the value anyway)

3. Open an ASCII file with nano

You see this:

[1]   Segmentation fault (core dumped) nano <filename>
