I just found that my shell is no longer showing colors in the terminal. For example: I have an app that outputs a log file with ansi color codes in it, A few weeks ago I would call less on the file and it would display the colors correctly. Now it shows this instead:

ESC[31minit:

(init being the first thing in the log and the string before it the Ansi color code)

It seems like the 10.2.4 update changed something on my system (actually on 5 different machines I could reproduce this).

I'm sure the problem is one of the shell config file or the shell itself (I doubt it though since I tried tcsh, bash and sh) since colors are showing fine if I ssh to a Linux machine and "less" the file.

Anybody knows whats going on here?

Ok the escape code showing is a feature of less, but still "cat" and "tail" show no colors... (nor the prompt if you set colors in it)
