Fixed now in 5.7-CVS.
I have changed to:

+                   if (!isatty(0)) {
+                      if (!G_yes ("Continue?", 1)) exit (0);
+                   }

Yes, this is ugly. No idea how to polish the G_percent() output, though.

Do you mean [s|v].surf.rst? Might be normal behaviour of this module.
