The way you break more (and passwd) is have a buffer flush problem
when you enter or exit raw mode.  I have had a problem like this on
many systems.  Recently, this happens on the Arnet Smartport board in
Tiwian AT clones.  The tail end of more output gets lost.  It seems to
work fine on real ATs and they only know of two clones where this is a
problem.  We have one of them.
