 When I try to run "port edit" with nvi as the editor, this is what
 happens:

 {{{
  $ sudo port edit --editor nvi nvi
 Error: unable to invoke editor nvi: ./ja_JP.UTF-8: No such file or
 directory
  $
 }}}

 the error message is a known bug, at least in MacPorts, but I can still
 use nvi normally.
 However, if I invoke with port edit then it refuses to start.  Maybe it's
 due to the error message?

 To get rid of the message, one can run without locale, by unsetting the
 locale, but then I get this if I use it in conjunction with port edit:

 {{{
 $ unset LANG
 $ sudo port edit nvi
 Error: unable to invoke editor vi: child killed: segmentation violation
 $
 }}}
