Note: There was a bad value `sw' for the field `>Class:'.

Kernel from July 16, 2000. It's not clear when the problem appeared. >Description: The sc console device is left in reverse video mode after a quit from less or more. This doesn't seem to happen with xterms. >How-To-Repeat: Log into an sc console, and try "more /etc/termcap". At the bottom of the first page, hit the "q" key. Notice that the last line is reverse video. Try "clear", and get a screen that's reverse video. To clear this, use "more /etc/motd" (or some short file) and page through to the end. You can then recreate the problem with a "less /etc/termcap" and quiting early. Less cannot be used to fix the problem. >Fix: Sorry, I don't have it :-(. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
