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.
