As a matter of interest, does WRAP=HARD force a particular character to be
used as a line break? I had someone using a browser a while ago that input
something weird into my dump file which broke less - just terminated the
output at the first EOL and returned control to the shell. I'd be far more
interested in that sort of thing being eradicated than dealing with
wrapping that can be done in under ten lines of code.
