Apparently, the issue manifests itself only on sufficiently big files (the buffering is obviously involved.) Consider, e. g.:
$ most /usr/share/doc/libdirectfb-1.2-9/changelog.gz Should one quit without scrolling, a “Broken pipe” message will be produced (as per 5.0.0a-2.) Of the following commands, the first will result in the message on quit (once again, without scrolling), while the second won't. $ most +$((32 * 1024)) /usr/share/doc/libdirectfb-1.2-9/changelog.gz $ most +$((35 * 1024)) /usr/share/doc/libdirectfb-1.2-9/changelog.gz Still, please note that it's actually Gzip that produces the message. And I'm not that certain that it should be inhibited. -- FSF associate member #7257
