^D becomes ^L on my VAX Console?

I've seen this but it's nothing to do with the console driver.
I have a .logout file which calls "clear".  The problem is in
"clear" or possibly the "tgetstr" routine of termcap.

When the termcap entry doesn't contain a "cl" string instead of
exiting gracefully "clear" sends whatever happens to be in its
buffer which frequently seems to contain a ^L.

Since I rarely use the console I never bothered to fix it.
