I copied the binaries for less and more version 394 from another machine which I haven't updated yet and those binaries work without issues. What the exact problem is I not sure but it's probably something in the version 4 code tree for less. I've emailed a bug report to the author at markn@greenwoodsoftware.com. This bug isn't system breaking and I've told my user that found the bug to see if he could work around it. I mostly wanted to see if anyone else could replicate the problem before I looked into sending a bug report. Ted Hatfield
