This is actually a bug in lesstif. (More accurately, in the libc6
lesstif contained in the package called "lesstifg")
You can fix it (supposedly, according to the lesstifg maintainer) by
installing the lesstifg from slink, version 0.84-1 or higher. (I think
the current version is something like 0.85.3-1) Once you do install
this, I _strongly_ suggest putting lesstifg on hold (with an equals
sign) in dselect. Unfortunate mistakes with version numbering means
that the hamm lesstifg will try to come back if you don't do this.
