Odd strings from 'man' output

Tru64 Managers:

Here's an odd problem on our Tru64 ES40 system.

Whenever we run the 'man' command, instead of the 'more' prompt at the
bottom of each screen, we get a random string of characters.

One one page, we might get this prompt:
manarCfaa (15%)

While still running 'man' on another page of text we get this prompt:
manarCgaa (11%)

Problems with the TERM setttings or something come to mind; are these
character-cell control sequences that are being sent out?

We have the problem both on the graphic head of the ES40, and remote
terminal sessions into the box.

Thank you,
