- I had problems with man, so I tried to figure out, what went wrong. Finaly I found out that less was the one to make problems. When started by the
- system() call it won't work. I traced the problem down to a ioctl() call in
- raw_mode() function (screen.c). The function TCSETAW keeps less from
- outputting anything to screen, even if no parameters are changed between
- TCGETA and TCSETAW. As it works on other systems - is this a bug of the
- system() call or the Linux kernel? - or isn't it a bug at all?
