Summary: less ends in last_modifying_cmd overrun
Description:
Hello,
I have the following problem:
less test.log --> ok
cat test.log | busybox less --> ok
cat test.log | less --> last_modifying_cmd overrun
After this call the shell isn't usable anymore.
I've tried this with busybox versions 1.9.1, 1.9.2 and 1.10.1.
All the same.
Any Idea what is going wrong?
Regards
Reiner

last_modifying_cmd is a static variable in vi.c, I have no idea what you
mean by
"cat test.log | less --> last_modifying_cmd overrun"
in this context. How cat, or less, can affect or be affected by
last_modifying_cmd?

when I try the following command on the console
cat test.log | less
it seems that less is started and tried to display the content of the file
test.log.
But it dosn't show the content. I only see the line "last_modifying_cmd
overrun" and I can not leave less again.
I do not know why busybox calls vi when I do this command.

Please run
cat test.log | strace -o less.log less
and show less.log contents
