>Description:

    Some builds of nvi-m17n core dump during startup, whereas others,
    apparently similar, do not. If it does core dump, it prints something
    along the lines of

        +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
        No redraw edit option specified.
        Modifications not recoverable if the session fails.
        /tmp/vi.17578b: new file: line 1
        Press any key to continue: Memory fault (core dumped) 

    The backtrace is

        #0  0xbdb6490f in strchr () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12

>How-To-Repeat:

    Build on one of cjs's machines.

>Fix:

    Unknown at this time. I can provide a broken package and the work
    directory from which it's made, or given the same for a working
    build, I could attempt to debug this.
