I got a copy of nvi 1.34 from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu and compiled it on a
SunOS 4.1.2 system.  While it compiled, it generates a memory fault in
strlen() at 0xf7732378
snprintf() at 0x52fe8
opts_init() at 0x1a6e8
main() at 0x18a54

I have no .exrc files, no EXINIT files, etc.  All I am trying is
./nvi /tmp/1

where it doesn't seem to matter whether 1 exists or not - I just
get the memory fault right away.

Any tips on fixing this?
