According to Ismail: * The problem is reproducible. * SELinux is disabled. * With the patch the problem occurs. * With the patch reversed, the problem went away.
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.
