If it can't be fixed then maybe it would be a good idea to mention this in the man-page. Currently the man-page states in its description of the TERM variable that it assumes a default of 'unknown' - but not that this very default will make nvi abort.

BTW, "vim -s" complains about a terminal type of 'unknown', too, but then simply defaults to 'ansi' and goes on (which is exactly what I want, since I am using it in batch mode). Maybe this could be an option for nvi as well.
