Hi Lance.
I encountered this error on a system that had it's term type set to xterm-256color: $ TERM=xterm-256color pike Terminfo: unparsable terminfo file "/usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-256color" /usr/local/pike/8.0.498/lib/modules/Stdio.pmod/Terminfo.pmod:406:

$ file /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-256color /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm: Compiled terminfo entry "xterm" /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-256color: Compiled 32-bit terminfo entry "xterm-256color"
This occurs on every term type that says "Compiled 32-bit terminfo entry" I might dig through the code and see if I can make changes to let Terminfo.pmod recognize and use 32-bit terminfo files.
AFAIK I fixed this issue a month or so ago:

The fix should be in Pike 8.0.562 and later (like eg the Pike 8.0.610 released as stable a few days ago). The Gentoo ebuilds also back-patch this fix into older releases.
