Thank you for pointing us at your work.

It is a pity that we flipped the switch and made nvi 1.81.x the default
in NetBSD, the initial intent was to massage the code until it worked
reasonably well, and then switch over.

I will have a look at your code in the coming days but have my hands
full until next week. Don't expect an immediate import of it even if we
decide to use it in the long run: although your experience with our nvi
is terrible, and I'm sorry about it, we *do* also review code before
committing it.

Best regards,
