I was just rebuilding less for cygwin 1.5.0 (turns out that I have a 6G strace file that less doesn't care for) and, in the process of rebuilding less, inadvertently built less with ncurses (I normally build it with termcap to avoid the ncurses dependency). I probably wouldn't even have noticed that less defaulted to this if not for the fact that it started reporting that the terminal wasn't fully functional.
Setting 'el=\E[K' to the terminfo file seems to make less work, and it seems to be the right thing to do for terminfo/ncurses.
If this makes sense, could it be included in the next ncurses release?
(I will revert less to just use termcap, but I wanted to report this problem anyway)
Will do -- ncurses is near the top of my queue for 1.5.0...
