Another possibility would be to fix more so that it can scroll
backwards.  This shouldn't take more than 20 lines of code (copy stdin
to a temporary file if it's not seekable), and would work on smaller
systems.

[There are a couple optimizations that could be made, but I'd hate to
see them get in the way.]
