To fix this, here's what must be done:

1. Find the right termcap for that terminal.
This is *not* a matter of trial and error.
Follow the definitions in the GNU termcap manual.
Just obey them.

2. We know Emacs still won't work.
Debug what it does.  Why doesn't it work?
Where does Emacs make a wrong decision?

3. Write a clean fix that makes Emacs do the right thing.
Not just the right end result, but with code that is clearly right
for reasons one canconvince oneself of.

4. Then install the change.

I would do this if I had time, but this problem isn't high priority,
so I'm going to leave steps 1-3 to others.  If you write a fix, please
send it to me.
