This is related to the terminal definitions.
Immediate workaround:
run:
TERM=vt100
(or 'set term=vt100' on tcsh)
Gives you almost all of what you need, and is defined just about anywhere.
What is your current value of TERM? ('echo $TERM')
BTW:
The terminfo definition file of xterm is /usr/share/termonfo/x/xterm
