Problem with less's output of man pages after update (ESC ...)


Hi,

When I updated cygwin yesterday, everything works except for the formatting of
manual pages.  When I do

$ man man

I get output that looks like (starting with the third line):

ESC[1mNAMEESC[0m
...
ESC[1mSYNOPSISESC[0m

and in general has lots of these ESC codes.

I don't think I'm using any non-defaults related to this problem.  I
haven't edited /etc/man.conf.   I don't have MANPAGER defined in the
environment, and I get the same output with

$ man -P "/usr/bin/less -is" man

However, if I do

$ man -P cat man

I get output without all of the ESC sequences, althougth it has a lot
of extra bold (white) stuff.

I have another cygwin computer with the same cygwin configuration I
didn't update, and it does fine with displaying manual pages.

The configuration of the computer with this problem is as follows.
(Output of cygcheck -s -v 0r)
