The modified bash on Sergey's site only spawns if there is no piping
or no redirection.  The problem is that the spawnve() command is
issued with the _P_NOWAIT flag which will not allow less to control
the stdio.  If this were changed to _P_WAIT then you shouldn't see any
problems with less.  Also, it would be a good idea to flushall()
before spawning.

BTW, since `cat file | less' didn't use the spawnve() it worked as it
should have.
