[comp.terminals] VT100 curses refresh problems HP/UX

I'm having problems with curses programs not refreshing correctly on any vt100
terminals (including true blue vt100, tek 41xx, DEC Rainbow 100's,
and xterms).

Everything works fine except an insert or delete character operation
immediately followed by a refresh().  
The line is not redraw to show the insertion or deletion.
Sometimes, after a dozen or so inserted characters, it starts to work
correctly. 

These programs work fine on various other terminals 
(including Wyse, TVI and HP terminals).

The programs also refresh correctly under SGI IRIX with vt100 terminals.

Sounds like it might be a terminfo problem to me, but I cannot find an
appropriate terminfo entry and vi works ok. Is there a bug in HP/UX curses?

The system is a HP9000 running HP/UX.

Any clues appreciated.
