This is not actually a problem with more. Sending ^[P to an xterm
causes it (presumably correctly, though I have not verified this) to
begin throwing away all output rather than displaying it.

Then /bin/more under AIX appears to be the only version of more around
here that filters such escape codes in some way by default. Native
Ultrix, Solaris, and Irix versions of more all pass this escape
sequence unchanged.

If in fact you are encountering the problem in an xterm, you need only
select "Do Soft Reset" from the VT Options menu to resume output.
