>Description:
We have this line in basesrc/etc/root/dot.login:
eval `tset -sQrm 'unknown:?unknown'`
Now, use that line or simply 'tset -s' in an xterm window and
notice the error:
Terminal type is xterm.
Word too long.
>How-To-Repeat:
Start 'tset -s' in a xterm window, or let it start by .login and
notice that it fails and exits.
