Perhaps the binary is actually trying to start an xterm?  There's no
xterm under my /compat/linux, but the FreeBSD xterm should be used in
that case.

Or, it really is looking for termcap, which isn't installed under my
/compat/linux either.  You could try copying /usr/share/misc/termcap to
/compat/linux/etc and see what happens.  I'm not sure where Linux looks
for termcap.
