Error description:
Using less -E or more to display a file that is less than a full page,
while then displaying a nonexistent file causes a segmentation fault.
I was able to recrerate the symptoms using more, but not "less -E".
For example on a newly built system you can
less -E /etc/group bogusfile
This will display the file ending with
/etc/group (file 1 of 2) (END) - Next: bogusfile
when you press space or return it gives
Segmentation fault: 11
I did:
g1-18(6.2-S)[1] cd /tmp
g1-18(6.2-S)[2] head /etc/group >group
g1-18(6.2-S)[3] less -E group fubar
and didn't see a problem
Using more(1), I got:
g1-18(6.2-S)[5] more group fubar

For me this is one of those intermittent faults. Sometimes it
segfaults, and sometimes it doesn't.
