Description: Ubuntu 15.10
Release: 15.10

nano:

After upgrading Ubuntu 15.04 to 15.10, when I run nano as root on a file it just segfaults. I'm not having this problem on other 15.04->15.10 upgrades

Under gdb with nano-dbgsym installed, it gives

#0 main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe688) at ../../src/nano.c:2768

If I run it as sudo nano filename.txt, it gives an error as below rather than segfaulting

[ Couldn't determine hostname for lock file: File name too long ]

Both my user and root have the same locale settings. I've tried regenerating the locales
