I surely wish that remailer would stop it...

Anyways, Keith found the fix, though I am perplexed concerning it.  If
anyone else is having problems getting nvi to compile under SunOS 4.1.2,
check your include/compat.h and see if VSPRINTF_CHAR_POINTER is being
defined.  If so, then change the 1 to a 0 in the #ifdef / #endif wrapper
around it and delete all the .o files (and nvi / nex links) and rerun
the make.  You should be fine now.
