Thanks for analyzing the "less" issue.

We should be OK if we lost the overstrike from the pager we directly spawn and write into. I think it is a good thing to consider, especially because "the default $LESS variable we set" should not affect the pager indirectly triggered by us spawning "man".

Thanks.
