"Terminal doesn't support cursor movement"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. connecting to shell
2. running the 'irssi' irc client app on shell
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected output is for the application to run, insetad it gives "Terminal
doesn't support cursor movement, Can't initialize screen handling,
quitting. You can still use the dummy mode with -d parameter"

running with -d produces same result.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Google phone G1, android

Can you do "echo $TERM" when this happens? Also, the output of "uname -a" would 
be
helpful. It sounds like either your TERM environment variable is getting messed 
up
somewhere or your terminfo database is incomplete.

I'm closing this ticket since I haven't heard anything more.

I've typed echo $term by itself and also irssi echo $term. The former results in
unknown. The latter results in original error message
