I'm using less version 358.  I have seen this behavior only with `less'.

Also, `less' will not touch the zip drive (e:) _unless_ there is
an e:\<path> somewhere in my DOS PATH. However, that e:\<path>
can be anywhere---even at the tail end of PATH, after both `.'
and `djgpp/bin'---and `less' will still touch the zip drive.

I'll explore further this weekend with gdb.
