The eternal quandry posed by the vendor branch. I maintain a small archive of patches for little things like this, so I guess it's not beyond the realm of possibility to continue applying these patches pre-buildworld.

I would love to see it patched permanently, but not at the expense of other functionality or caus- ing outright breakage in the nvi editor if you think this could be a potential problem.
