>Description:
usbconfig(8)'s -h option prints output to stderr. This output is not due to an error, and is already 28 lines line. A typical terminal will not display it all, so the user has to redirect stderr to view it with less or other utilities.
>How-To-Repeat:
usbconfig -h | less (then try to scroll back)
>Fix:
Apply attached patch.
