Hi all,

It seems at least a working patch for this problem was made 4 years ago, but still no response from upstream.

Could we just patch the debian copy and distribute it anyway? 'F' that works and 'G' that dies is better than neither working at all.

You can't simply ctrl-C less to tell it to cancel the watch loop, because that kills the pipe writers too.

(I personally don't believe this is a wishlist bug; it should be upgraded to 'normal' because less simply does not perform as advertised when reading from pipes. Subjective call, I guess).

Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a function.
You're saying cats are the opposite of bijectiveness?
