When this sort of thing happens, I usually do:
  setenv TERM vt100
or 
  export TERM=vt100
depending on whether I'm using tcsh or bash as my shell.

This seems to do the trick.

I'm sure that there's a better way to do this -- I assume that 
applications should recognize the "linux" terminal type.  I'll look into 
this the next time I update the pine package.

I hope this helps you...
