It is looks like "less" problem. First of all try "more" instead.
man gcc | more
or
export PAGER=more
man gcc
If it work, it is definitly "less" problem. Try "less bigfile".
If it fail try less buggy "less".
BTW, my "less" also buggy but another way. It put some error
message about something like "broken pipe" at starting point and
still work anyway.
