    The error is quite simply due to the fact that the pager program
    (more) exited without reading all the input from the pipe.  It
    only occurs sometimes because it depends on whether the pipe
    direct-maps zcat's (gunzip's) write to the pager program's read.
How come only Petr is having this problem?
