Yes but... the problem is caused by the terminfo data you showed:

Try "echo $COLUMNS"... now "export COLUMNS=80; top"; does it work?
COLUMNS is getting set someplace:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $COLUMNS
80
Any other ideas?
Try setting COLUMNS to 79 with the comment "export COLUMNS=79".
I had this problem when I ran the Cygwin ssh client from bash *in a
CMD.EXE window*. For some reason, Debian miscalculated the COLUMNS size;
it was 1 column too large. When I manually set COLUMNS (from 130 to 129
in my case), top worked correctly.
I recommend running ssh from bash in an rxvt window instead of using the
CMD.EXE window. This will give you an "xterm" terminal in Debian which
will work much better. I use it all the time with Debian 3.1 and have no
problems.
