Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xterm

Since upgrading from karmic to lucid, I'm having the following problems
with xterm:

1. Handling of window size isn't passed to remote machines via telnet.
If I telnet to another machine inside our firewall (yes, I know telnet
isn't secure for outside connections), I can't use vim on the remote
machine. The terminal size isn't passed correctly, long lines don't wrap
properly, and window size changes don't get passed through to vim or
other programs such as more. ssh does seem to pass most of this info
correctly.

2. The cursor color resource no longer works: cursor is still black even with
XTerm*cursorColor: red

If I copy the xterm version from karmic, XTerm(243), and run it, both of
these problems go away.
