Hello,

  I've noticed a few let's say quirks with more and less. Control
characters (^L) and such show up in man pages, and some text files (output
from gprof). 
I also get tags like <AD> in the man page for cc:
"       This  man  page  is not kept up to date except when volun<AD>
       teers want to maintain it.   If  you  find  a  discrepancy	
"

Also, sometimes, it seems like more "stalls" on some files, not quite
displaying 24 lines of text (I know for a fact that the file is longer
than 24 lines)

Can someone provide some reasonable explaination and a possible fix? 
This happens on my Centris 650 w/ NetBSD 1.4.1. less version 332, if
that's any indication. 

Thanks
