nvi file status percentage is garbage

[Dave Wolfe]

Binary package hint: nvi

Control-G displays a file status message at the bottom of the terminal window, for example:

zz: unmodified: line 52 of 14253 [140733193388032%]

Note that the percentage location in the file is absurd.

I'm using a stock Ubuntu desktop 9.04 on a dual-processor AMD64. Nvi is version 1.81.6-5 installed with that version. This behavior first appeared when I upgraded from 8.04lts (to 8.10 then) to 9.04. I didn't use the 8.10 system long enough to notice if this problem existed in it.

I'm maintaining a version of nvi. Can you provide me a file to reproduce this problem? Thanks.

Once I figured out how to "back-grade" and lock the nvi version I
haven't used the post-1.79 versions and don't have any of them installed
anywhere. I'll see if I can make some time to re-install a later version
tomorrow and try to find a file I can share that exhibits the problem.
Ditto for bug 382288 (nvi line numbering shows non-existant lines with
absurd numbers).

As I said, I don't have the same versions of either nvi, Ubuntu, or the original file, so I'm unable to reproduce this problem. Perhaps it's already been fixed in a subsequent build. Go ahead and close it as unconfirmed.

Closing because I can't reproduce it on 1.81.6-18. Feel free to comment or reopen if the issue persists and you have more info on how to reproduce it.
