I think it worked with more because more simply prints whatever it gets
(cat binary_file | more == bad). less tries to be smarter, but this
means no pretty color codes. I used to have an alias with 'color=yes'
(no wonder my 'ls' pipes never seemed to work right). I just switched to
'color=tty' and it works much better now. Be sure you didn't miss a
detail when you tried with color=tty, cause it's much nicer.
