[nc7s]

Describe the bug

Specifically, starting with git tag v611, or according to git bisect, commit b17b0802.

The result is as follows:

----------------------------------------
FAIL: cltools/zstdless.sh
FAILED 1 / 1 tests!

The problem is that the first invocation of zstdless exited with 1.

With strace and a bit of manual debugging (aka inserting printf all over the place), the code doing the exit is located here, reproduced below:

		if (!ignore_eoi)
		{
			if (n == 0)
				consecutive_nulls++;
			else
				consecutive_nulls = 0;
			if (consecutive_nulls > 20)
				quit(QUIT_ERROR);
		}

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Get a version of less newer than v610 (i.e. v611 and later) or aforementioned commit
2. Replace exec less in programs/zstdless with exec $NEWER_LESS
3. Run tests/cli-tests/run.py --verbose cltools/zstdless.sh

There is also an actions run here for your convenience.

Expected behavior

The test should succeed.
