Okay, going to make some educated guesses here, based on where I have
seen this before.  1) As a regular user, you use tcsh and bash as root
2) you have not examined /etc/profile.d/inputrc.csh to see the little
error that snuck its way in:

setenv LESS=-MM

The behavior you are describing is corrected by removing the equal sign.

Newer releases of the initscripts rpm have corrected this.
