Broke tset

I have a wierd one. I'm setting up two brand new Alpha 1200's with DU 4.0D.
I'm doing most of the work on one of them--later to be cloned to the other.

The problem: yesterday, for some unknown reason, tset broke on the working
machine. Whenever it runs I get:

tset: unknown terminal type xterm
Terminal type?

It doesn't matter what I type in there, nor what my terminal actually is,
nor whether I run it as me or root.

Tset on the other virgin machine still works fine.

I've compared contents and permissions of /usr/bin/tset, /etc/termcap,
/usr/share/lib/termcap and /usr/share/lib/terminfo/*. They are identical
between the two machines.

Does anyone have any idea of what I possibly could have done to break this?
