Description:
Starting the non-GPL client on HPUX gives some termcap/terminfo-related errors regardless of the value of the TERM environment variable.
How to repeat:
1. Obtain non-GPL .tar.gz package for HPUX
2. Unzip/tar package
3. Run scripts/mysql_install_db
4. Start the server
5. Start the client

Suggested fix:
Perhaps the libedit being built is not properly configured to read the HPUX terminfo/termcap database?
A function such as tigetflag() or setupterm() might yield better results?
