Hi Colin, First, re-reading my report, I'm afraid that maybe "{" is used as a shell meta-character, or sed meta-character, or something similar. It might be more than just "no output causes problems". I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions so quickly. Second, yes, "less ugly [but still useful]"

The problem with fixing this as you describe ("no output at all") is that it would make it difficult to understand what's going on in the more common case where your configured pager is accidentally not installed. Would you accept a less ugly error message (somehow)? -- You received this bug
