The distributed psterm uses it's own version of "putenv".
It matches on the environment variable name but doesn't bother
looking for a trailing "=".
In the ksh environment (that's all I use), environment variables
are not guaranteed to be sorted. In particular, TERMCAP usually
precedes TERM in my environment. So TERMCAP was getting overlaid.
Sorry if this was reported earlier but I haven't seen it and it was
driving me batty. My TERM was never showing up with the new value.

There are enough cooks in the pot already.
