As a final suggestion (though you've likely resolved your issue), using
a 'case' statement within your .bashrc or .profile / .bash_profile may
be preferable to hardwiring a terminal setting.
Um, s/may be/is/
So, for example:
case $TERM in
<problematic term value[s]) export TERM=<known working value>;;
*) ;;
esac
Say:
case $TERM in
cygwin) export TERM=ansi;;
*) ;;
esac
Yes, you need the doubled ';;'. 'man bash' for more info.
Note that this is Bourne / bash syntax your csh/tsch shells will be
unhappy.
I've used a similar technique on troubled RH boxen (remote-side) in the
past.
Peace.
