Emacs won't start with TERM=xterm-color.
-----
emacs: Terminal type xterm-color is not defined.
If that is not the actual type of terminal you have, [. . .]
-----
However, it *will* start with TERM=xterm
This contradicts the doc, which says that the type is stripped, one
hyphen at a time, until it finds a name it recognizes (and therefore
it should come to xterm and start).
Sorry if this one has been fixed. It appears that it might be OK
in 22.3, but I haven't been able to find it in the bug list.

That's only related to how the terminal-specific initialization file is
found under term.

Hi Andrew, more recent versions of Emacs handle this properly now.
Thanks for the bug report, though.
