 I've fixed more to exit after it reads two EOFs, but the more serious
 problem here, of course, is that /bin/sh isn't propogating signals
 correctly.
 
 The updated more is in -current and 4-stable.  I'm not sure if I'll
 merge it all the way back to 3-stable unless you need it there.  Being
 from the evil university, you'd have to ask really really nicely...  ;-)
