 For me this is one of those intermittent faults.  Sometimes it segfaults,

I can't reproduce this on any of the 3 systems I have easy access to,
either with less -E or more.

The less options I use, for what it's worth:

LESS=-MRX
LESSHISTFILE=-

Could this be a terminal definition problem?  I use TERM=xterm, SSH
session is via PuTTY.


TERM=vt100, SSH session via SecureCRT version 3.3.

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 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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.
