Other than slrn, did you upgrade anything else?

Does the "stock" version of the latest pre0.9.9 snapshot have the same
problem?

Do you have `strace` on your system?  If so, try running slrn as:

   strace -o /tmp/strace.log slrn

If you do not have strace, then try to obtain it because it is a very
useful debug tool.

The /tmp/strace.log file should show slrn searching for terminfo files.
Feel free to send it to me.

Thanks,
