 i'm convinced there are two bugs here.  the timeout one, and
 that less tries to do terminal ops that trigger signals when
 not properly able.
 
 the original report fails if you use 'cat' instead of 'less'.
 
 i'd not be so worried about the less bug, but for me i can't
 ^C out of it.  ^Z does work, but having a shell i can't sent
 an interrupt to is pretty serious situation i'd like to avoid
 having happen if the tools can.
