I'm not saying that less should die. In fact, my version of less does
not die; it simply prints inverse-video hex-codes for the characters
that it believes are not printable (i.e. the characters with the
high-bit set).
On HP-UX, the "C" locale is basically US-ASCII. High-bit characters are
considered unprintable. Apparently Solaris decides to make the "C"
locale more useful.

Well, aren't you lucky? Maybe if I worked for Sun, I could use Solaris
boxes all day, too. :)
