Subject:   4.7: Odd 'man' behavior

It's possible this is cockpit fog, but I didn't notice this until I
upgraded to 4.7.  Certain manpages are being rendered in such a way that
when I type 'q' to exit my PAGER (less), the pager returns to the beginning
of the document as if it doesn't exit.  But what appears to be happening is
that I'm getting multiple streams of output to the TTY:

clint   37083  0.0  0.6  1116  588  p1  S+    2:24AM   0:00.03 man thttpd
clint   37084  0.0  0.3   628  308  p1  S+    2:24AM   0:00.00 sh -c /usr/bin/zcat /usr/local/man/cat8/thttpd.8.gz | less
clint   37085  0.0  0.2   604  216  p1  S+    2:24AM   0:00.01 /usr/bin/zcat /usr/local/man/cat8/thttpd.8.gz

So, it appears that both 37084 and 37085 are writing to my TTY, which is
why it looks like it doesn't exit...
