Yes, other slang programs do this as well. Here's how to fix it:

Add a command line option ("--lowbit", maybe?). If it is set, run the
following after you call SLtt_get_terminfo() and before you call
SLang_init_tty() or SLsmg_init_smg():

SLtt_get_terminfo();

AFAIK, this isn't documented anywhere, I had to find it out by corresponding
with the author of slang.
