This does fix the amd64 crash for me. I'm concerned about this port, though. It's an unmaintained ISO-2022 patchset on top of less-332, which was released in *1997*. The patches no longer exist except on our mirrors. Have there been any vulnerabilities in less in the past 19 years? Do the patches introduce any? It seems like it might be worthwhile for jless users to alias it to "iconv -f iso-2022-jp -t utf-8 | less", and see if it acts as a reasonable approximation. I'm very concerned about keeping such an old, unmaintained fork in our tree, when the original software has since grown its own support for Japanese. I have similar concerns about kterm (1996 xterm), jvim (1996 vim), ja-groff (1995 groff), hanterm-xf (2003 xterm)... -- Anthony J. Bentley
