SUMMARY: A bug in sag?

A totally underwhelming reponse (0, yes count them, 0 responses).

Failing to get a quick response from this list I turned to Sun. Less than
12 hours after logging the call, I was speaking to a Sun engineer who
confirmed the problem exists. The workaround is to specify a terminal type on
the command line, e.g. sag -T tek, as the bug is related to sag not picking
up the $TERM environment as documented. So thanx to Sun(UK).
