Hi, Does anyone use message catalog of nvi? If it is not, I would like to disable it and stop installing catalog files.
Messages contain printf(3) format strings. When they are inconsistent with C sources, a segmentation fault can occur if worse. I found an inconsistency at least for #038 in ru_RU.KOI8-R.base. Catalog files have been untouched long years except for a case where messages about machchars option were added for some languages, not all. If we decide to keep them, we should consider how to check them systematically. Note that OpenBSD has already removed them. I feel this is a reasonable choice, although I do not always agree with their ways of radicalism ;-). rin
