zsh 4 on FreeBSD 7:
	% man perlfunc | less '+/y'
	Error executing formatting or display command.
	system command exited with status 36096
	No manual entry for perlfunc

bash 4 on FreeBSD 7:
	$ man perlfunc | less '+/y'
	Error executing formatting or display command.
	system command exited with status 36096
	No manual entry for perlfunc

Maybe some buffer issue as the length of the man page seems to
have an influence?
