>Description:
more(1) does not handle files with \r\n line termination correctly.
It attempts to be `smart' and convert them to \n, but then apparently
loses the proper offset within the file, and reads extra characters
the next time it loads in a buffer of text.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run more(1) on an MS-DOG style text file.
>Fix:
Upgrade to a more recent version of less(1).
