No MORE or empty MORE (setenv MORE "") and more works fine.
Shows on pinstripe/7.0 intel and 7.0 on alpha.

This works fine for me in util-linux-2.10m-12, which shipped with 7.0, as well
as the latest util-linux from rawhide. I tried it with both tcsh (which seems to
be your shell?) and bash.

Are you still seeing this?

FYI, we have observed this problem in util-linux-2.10p-3 running under the VA
Linux edition of RedHat 6.2.  It appears to be fixed on our standard RedHat 7.1
systems, which are running util-linux-2.10s-12.
