I believe that this is due to the terminal type of the console changing from "cons25" to "xterm". If you fix your /etc/ttys to reflect this things should be OK.

1:27:57pm  argus(19): tty
/dev/pts/7
1:28:03pm  argus(20): setenv TERM xterm
1:28:05pm  argus(21): man man
MAN(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual MAN(1)

ESC[1mNAMEESC[0m
    ESC[1mman ESC[22m-- display online manual documentation pages

same thing going on. that's after switching every vty and the console to xterm in /etc/ttys as well.

i'm kinda lost on this one. i have determined that somehow, it's the pager... hang on a sec... lemme try vi.

vi seems to be working properly... it's not the termcap/terminfo... the only thing causing this seems to be more and less, both.

when i pipe man into cat, everything gets properly interpreted by the tty/vty/pty, when i use the pager, i get this crap....argh..
