Have you tried:

echo -n ansi > /env/jeske/TERM

to see what happens?

Watch out for ^M's at the end of lines. -ltermcap should probably protect
itself against this; right now, it uses read() to get the whole database
file, which is not a programming interface which maps ^M^J into ^J (this
would make it non-binary-clean, which isn't desirable).
