This isn't directly related to your problem with less, but:

I've seen double output like that before when I've been using the Perl
debugger (perl -d <script>). I forget the exact conditions, but it may have
been something like this:

* Invoke debugger.
* Set breakpoint.
* Run program, stop at breakpoint.
* Set a breakpoint in a function.
* Call the function from the debugger's command-line.

After the program breaks in the function (so we now have a nested break, a
break while broken), the double output may appear. Exiting the debugger and
re-running it does not help.

Bye,
