I'm building up a minimal install a bit at a time... Or I should say
building down.  It was a full install at one point.

I'm getting strange behavior in vim when accessing the minimal machine
thru ssh from another gentoo box.

When using vims search tool on the remote (/) normally you can scroll
thru previous search strings with up/down arrow.  But I'm getting <up>
printed literally instead when I press up/down to access a previous
search.

It seems a safe bet it has to do with paring down the install since it
worked normally previously.  

I've edited down the world list, changed a number of USE flags,
changed the profile to hardened/x86/minimal.  Ran emerge -vuDN world
followed by `emerge --depclean' and `revdep-rebuild'.  All succeeded.

Does anyone know what library might be involved with scrolling
previous/next with up/down arrow keys in vim?  I thought readline
right away but that is installed and at the newest version.

I also thought it might be from coming in via ssh with xterm going to
a console only install so I tried:  TERM=linux ssh [...]

It made no difference at all.

Any ideas what else to look at?
