Subject: Less: -j does not take negative number any more
Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2008 17:43:25 -0400

Package: less
Version: 418-1
Severity: normal

>From less man page:

,-----
| -jn or --jump-target=n
|
|   . . . The number may be negative to specify a line relative to the
|   bottom of the screen: the bottom line on the screen is -1, the
|   second to the bottom is -2, and so on. . .
`-----

But it doesn't work with version 418-1 any more:

 $ less aaa

-- OK,

 $ less -j-6 aaa
 Invalid line number
 aaa  (press RETURN)

-- get the "Invalid line number" error after specifying a negative
   number for -j.

----
I confirm that the bug is still in version 436 (436-1 in Debian).  The
bug also happens when the -j option is in the LESS env variable.
