That's ncurses development version from (the exact date doesn't come to mind)
early 1999, before 990301 - see
ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/NEWS.gz
so that's neither 4.2 nor 5.0 (I guess it was Redhat 6.0 that introduced
that problem).

yes (I believe it's a compile-time option, though - doesn't appear with
the rxvt on the system I'm running at the moment - Debian). But if mutt
interpreted termcap names, it would isolate you from that sort of thing.
