I added op=\E[39;49m in my $HOME/.termcap (I already have other changes
to propagates to other machines, so I thought this would be the
simplest solution to deploy), and it does indeed solve the problem.

Moreover, as I suspected, it also solves the too-bright problems in more
complex ncurses applications like mutt and irssi. So everything is fine
now.

According to the (snipped) entries, there is even rxvt-unicode-256color
in that file, while it's missing from my system.

However my freebsd is not that old, since it's the latest release
(8.2-RELEASE). While I could update some less-sensitive machines to
newer versions, I also use tmux on servers where I'm uncomfortable
running anything else than a -RELEASE (and update itself is quite
uncomfortable too), so I will stick to the $HOME/.termcap solution for
now. Anyway, thanks for pointing it out, so I'll know that when I use a
newer version there might be a clash between system termcap and
$HOME/.termcap.


And a thousand thanks for your patience in helping me with the issue
despite it not being actually caused by tmux.
