I scratched my head for a while figuring out why ghc-core wasn't working at all for me, then I tried this:

$ echo $PAGER
less -S
$ export PAGER=less

It worked just fine afterwards.

I'd like to say I just experienced this same problem.
I also think this is fixed in 630196a (> 3 years ago), but unfortunately this is not released.

Pipe into pager instead of using a temporary file.

Also, use $PAGER as a shell command instead of a raw binary name.
Thanks, mikeplus64!
