Re: garbage at start

[Kevin Van Workum]

Does '-r' remove the garbage? I've seen "half terminal: behavior before. It has to do with termcap. Try using the 'resize' command, then your command and less -r. The garbage without '-r' is probably also then related to some missing termcap. Other possibility is your locale on one machine is not available on another.

Then part of the output scrolls of, as if the less instance thinks the
terminal is larger than what it in reality is. To make it even stranger:
less then uses only half of the terminal! (height)
half: +/- half
