Recently installed mon and top.  About 10 minutes later, a user who
likes 132 column mode of VT100 compatible terminal reports core dumps.
Not really wanting to dive into hacking at that moment, came up with
this trick:

          faketerm
          --------
          #! /bin/sh
          TERM=$1 TERMCAP=/etc/termcap $*
          --------

usage:  faketerm  command line

In this particular instance:

faketerm vt100 top

seems to work.  Ugly, but cheap.  No warranties, expressed or implied...
