I can reproduce this (even without loading a file), but I don't get
the core dump you're refering to below.

After diffing around and digging up old versions of nvi, I can't see
any change that would have introduced this bug. The only thing I can
think of is the recent switch to using newterm() instead of initscr(),
but I'm not a curses expert. I'll try to see if I can do something in
this direction.

Can you tell when it last worked for you? And which precise version of
nvi and libcurses are you using?

Yes, that's what it essentially is, but you shouldn't get this kind of
core dump on some file which is not a broken recovery file.
What did your /tmp/foo file contain?
