Unfortunately, this appears to be mixed up with another 2.6.8.1-mm1 change causing udev to garble the creation of /dev/tty and pty devices. Applying/reversing the controlling-tty patch in isolation creates/corrects the symptom with the less program, so there seems to be some relation. -- Paul Fulghum paulkf@microgate.com
