The documentation for unibi_from_term() says > If the environment variable "TERMINFO" is set, it is interpreted as the name of the directory to search. No other directory is used. The curses doc says > If the environment variable TERMINFO is defined, any program using curses checks for a local terminal definition before checking in the standard place. i.e TERMINFO is a directory containing files which can override one terminal without blocking others. This incompatibility just bit me.
