Subject: more segfaults on Redhat 6.x when passing "/proc/misc" as a parameter

Hi, "more" segfaults when you pass "/proc/misc" to it
as a parameter. This happens on my Redhat 6.0 and my
Redhat 6.2 box. More is setuid root. See below:

[dayjay@...ngsdonutshop~]$ more /proc/misc
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[dayjay@...ngsdonutshop~]$ 

Since I suck at GDB, here's something:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /bin/more /proc/misc
(no debugging symbols found)...
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x74722035 in ?? ()
(gdb)

There you go. Don't know what else can happen...
