It sounds like a problem in mlterm, e.g., in the way it stores the "ut" (terminfo "bce") capability. It doesn't appear to read the ncurses terminal database, which (since bce worked when I tested it) says it does back-color-erase, while the compiled-in termcap says it does not. If the mlterm package changed that ut-default setting, then providing your own termcap settings may have reset the behavior to match the compiled-in NON-ut default. -- Thomas E.
