Hi Walter, This isn't related to the bug per se but it might be useful bit of information regardless. The nvi port is actually nvi2[0], which is based on the original (read Keith Bostic's) nvi, where, in turn, the base vi(1) comes from. The original nvi is still maintained[1] by Sven Verdoolaege[2] so you might want to give him a shout, too.
