Can someone verify this bug for me please and suggest a fix. Error description: Using less -E or more to display a file that is less than a full page, while then displaying a nonexistent file causes a segmentation fault. For example on a newly built system you can less -E /etc/group bogusfile This will display the file ending with /etc/group (file 1 of 2) (END) - Next: bogusfile when you press space or return it gives Segmentation fault: 11 If you choose a file that is longer than 1 page the process works as expected. For example less -E /etc/hosts.allow bogusfile works as expected. I have confirmed this behaviour on 3 different machines all built within a week of each other. The newest machine was built on FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE (GENERIC) #0: Thu Jul 26 02:20:28 CDT 2007 Thanks, Ted Hatfield
