Apparently, the issue manifests itself only on sufficiently big
files (the buffering is obviously involved.) Consider, e. g.:
$ most /usr/share/doc/libdirectfb-1.2-9/changelog.gz
Should one quit without scrolling, a “Broken pipe” message will
be produced (as per 5.0.0a-2.)
Of the following commands, the first will result in the message
on quit (once again, without scrolling), while the second won't.
$ most +$((32 * 1024)) /usr/share/doc/libdirectfb-1.2-9/changelog.gz
$ most +$((35 * 1024)) /usr/share/doc/libdirectfb-1.2-9/changelog.gz
Still, please note that it's actually Gzip that produces the
message. And I'm not that certain that it should be inhibited.
