Hi list,
I just stumbled across a oddity when I use the `man'-command piped
through `less' or `more'.
What I do is the following:
1. $ man $some_program
This works without problems.
2. $ man $some_program | less or: $ man $some_program | more
This works without problems until I type `q' to return to the terminal.
Then the following message appears on the screen[tm] an I get my
shell-prompt:
Error executing formatting or display command.
system command exited with status 36096
Error executing formatting or display command.
system command exited with status 36096
No manual entry for less
$
For some man-pages (it seems the category doesn't matter), the message
is two lines shorter:
Error executing formatting or display command.
system command exited with status 36096
No manual entry for X
$
There's no difference whether I use `less' or `more'.
My system is 6.2-PRERELEASE with sources from November 12th:
$ uname -a
FreeBSD herdubreid.xxx.xxx.de 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #0:
Sun Nov 12 16:02:01 CET 2006

Sorry if my report is unclear in some way. If you need more information,
let me know. I will do my best to provide it ;)
I can also provide some ktrace output if necessary.
Regards,
Philipp
