Hi,
I have found a bug in 'more', util-linux-2.10r source.
At startup tailequ() is called to match the last component of argv[0]
against "page". tailequ() is broken because it accesses one location
below the start of argv[0]. This causes a crash on parisc, where the
stack grows upwards and argv[0] is the first element on the stack.
Richard
