Yes, when using xterm-color this does fix it, to support color
within a screen session invoked on amd64...

 # fix colors in screen on amd64 XXX workaround
 [ "$(uname -m)" = "amd64" -a "$TERM" = "xterm-color" ] && export TERM="xterm"

Sorry, I'm not able to rip out the $TERMCAP setting code from
screen, I looked.

I've not determined how to make screen colors work on console, I
presume setting TERM="xterm" is the fix there as well.

Thanks,
