Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: less
In gutsy (updated as of today, less version 406-0): Open a shell (I use
RXVT), start less with a large file. Then resize the window. Note that
less doesn't update until a key is pressed in the window. I feisty less
updates as soon as the resize is completed.
strace of a less window being resized:

SA_RESTART}, 8) = 0
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
read(3,
Once a key is pressed, the following is appended to the trace:
