Good call on the terminal config, but I didn't find it via the
manpage.  I noticed that, on the machine in question, mutt is now
clearing the screen on exit also.  Even when sshed to my server
(running stable), where it doesn't clear the screen when running
locally.

Guess I'll have to track down the relevant termcap entry and un-fix
it...
