Taking a peek at /etc/termcap shows this interesting tidbit (from esr, no 
less):

# (screen3: removed unknown ":xv:LP:G0:" -- esr)
screen3|VT 100/ANSI X3.64 virtual terminal:\
	:km:mi:ms:\
	:co#80:it#8:li#24:\
	...

I would guess that you're seeing the error message that esr did.  How old is 
your installation, anyway?

If there are xv, LP, etc, in the screen definition in your /etc/termcap, then 
try removing them.
