AFAIK I fixed this issue a month or so ago:

| commit 92fcb5564d6bf24366922b010e75d0bbeb5b0c07
| Author: Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) <grubba@grubba.org>
| Date:  Sun Mar 11 19:46:28 2018 +0100
|
|    Terminfo: Support Ncurses 6 format.
|   
|    Fixes support for eg xterm-256color.

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.
