Here's the output from the first command:
/sw/bin/aspell:
        /sw/lib/libaspell.15.dylib (compatibility version 17.0.0,
current version 17.4.0)
        /sw/lib/libintl.3.dylib (compatibility version 8.0.0, current
version 8.3.0)
        /sw/lib/libncursesw.5.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0,
current version 5.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 111.1.6)
        /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current
version 7.4.0)
        /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1.0.0)

also TERM is set to xterm

------------

It doesn't seem to be linking to anything extraneous.

I tried bootstrapping a brand new Fink installation on a 10.5 box, and I
wasn't able to reproduce the error, whether TERM was "xterm" or
"xterm-color".

I'll have to think a bit more about this.
