Yep, thanks, that was it.  uw doesn't support cs(change scrolling region).
I removed it, and everything is wonderful.  To save other termcap novices
from having to read the man, here's the new entry I put into /etc/termcap

ZZ|ansi|uw-ansi|ansi with mods from dumv for uw:cs@:tc=dumv-24:

ZZ is because it wants a two-letter code.  cs@ means don't do cs.  tc means
otherwise it's like the dumb-virtue terminal (a Mac emulator which emulates
the uw emulator, but much better: it's a real Mac interface, though the
program itself is flaky.); you'll probably want to use vt100 instead.

Re-defining 'ansi' is decidedly non-kosher, but the alternative was
re-making uw again.

Be careful, uw on startup re-defines your TERM variable, but not TERMCAP.
This is what caught me.
