Try:

env TERM=linux ./dmak

or 

env TERM=vt100 ./dmak

and if either of those work then you need to change the TERM= line in
/etc/profile

(TERM=linux is better than TERM=vt100 obviously, though others might have a
better suggestion, I just always use TERM=linux)

I think this occurs because the Linux interpreter is statically linked to an
old ncurses version?
