Well, is there some security concern in Zsh reading it?  Why not
initialize READNULLCMD as follows (converted to equivalent C code, of
course)?

READNULLCMD=${PAGER:-more}

I mean, I set PAGER because I don't want more(1) (or less(1) for that
matter) to be invoked by most other programs that need a PAGER.
