This problem is triggered by a bug in Cygwin DLL 1.3.2.
Less with the latest termcap and the 1.3.2 DLL try to recover
the previous screen, but it fails.
I fixed it a week ago, so this problem should be solved with the
upcoming 1.3.3 release. If you can't wait the release, please
try the latest nightly snapshot or start less with the -X option.
This option can disable it for saving/restoring the screen.
