This yields nothing. There is no BUGS file in and subs of
/usr/lib/terminfo.?

/usr/lib/termifo or /etc/terminfo? These are conciderably different.
/etc/terminfo only has a (ansi) d (dump) l (linux) s (sun) v (vtxxx) and x
(xterm...)

This works! It tells me that the bash running on ttyS1 is, in fact,
running with the termtype passed by getty. However, none of the termtypes
I have tried have made any difference at all! I have tried: ansi, dumb,
dg6134, and dg640-ansi with no effect at all.
I would suspect the terminal, except getty writes cleanly to the terminal.
It is only login and bash that misbehave.
