This sounds like you have the kernel window size structure set somewhere
(i.e., stty rows 80), which would override the termcap information.  You
can check this with an "stty all".  If this is the case, you can turn it
off with "stty cols 0", which would make the termcap size dominate, or
"stty cols 132".  See the end of the tty(4) man page for the winsize info.

This can happen on systems where rlogind or telnetd fail to clear the
winsize structure on a new login, AND an old process retains access to
the tty, preventing cleanup on last close.

In contrast, I'm not aware of any terminfo implementations that support the
notion of a window size in the kernel.
