>Description:

Create a file "foo" with the following contents:

  0000000: 73 6f 66 74 77 61 72 65 0d 0a 69 6e 74 65 72 6e  software..intern
  0000010: 61 6c 0d 0a 70 75 62 6c 69 63 0d 0a              al..public..

Now if you say "more foo" you get extra garbage at the end of the output:

  $ cat foo
  software
  internal
  public
  $ more foo
  software
  internal
  public
  c

  $ send-pr

Notice the carriage returns -- this seems to be what confuses more(1).

>How-To-Repeat:

	Fully repeatable as described above

>Fix:

	Use less(1)
