Right, the command line of login(1) has changed. The relevant part is now

    login [-t terminal] [-h host [terminal]] [-u user]

The culprit was with "-h host [terminal]", which with our call translated as

    /usr/sbin/login -h sol TERM=xterm

thus setting

    TERM="TERM=xterm"

I have now pushed a correction, which is in accordance with the manual
pages as delivered with SunOS 5.11 (2008) and SunOS 5.10 (2005).
The new interpreteation will use

    login -h host -t terminal -u user

which avoids the optional second argument for the switch "-h".
My thanks go to Guillem for expressing the inspiring key!
