Package: less
Version: 458-3
Severity: normal

less can crash if a file disappears while viewing multiple files. To
reproduce:

    touch a; mkdir b c; touch d
    less a b c d

Now, in a different terminal, delete the 'a' file. Then, back in less,
give the ':n' command to move to the next file. You'll get output
similar to this:

    a: No such file or directory  (press RETURN)
    c is a directory  (press RETURN)
    (random bytes): No such file or directory  (press RETURN)
    Segmentation fault
