>Description:

	Display two short files using more(1), eg
		more /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.old
	On my system they're less than one screenful each but
	more than one when combined.
	At the prompt for the second file, type RETURN.  Instead of
	displaying the first line of the second file it displays
	all of it.  This is different from the "old" more(1)
	and makes it impossible to compare medium-sized files using more(1).

>How-To-Repeat:
	See above.

Responsible-Changed-Why:  
gnats-admin isn't a real person, and Matt is the real less/more 
guru. He probably has a better idea what to do with this thing -- 
it has been open for four years.
