[vile] strange 9.7 vile behavior under FreeBSD

[Gary Jennejohn]

Hello,

I've updated the FreeBSD vile port to 9.7 and now I'm observing _very_
strange behavior.

If I don't make vile with ICONV support, then when I start it, it
totally ignores all keyboard input.  Note that it comes up just fine and
has also loaded the (in my test shmode) appropriate filter.

The last version I'd updated the port to was 9.6e and I know that vile
worked just fine without ICONV support there.  The 9.7 xvile also works
without ICONV support turned on.

I've found a workaround - if ICONV is turned off then if I also turn
off i18n support (--without-iconv --without-locale) then vile works OK.

Conversely, if ICONV is turned on then I also turn on i18n, but I'm not so
certain that's the correct thing to do.  But --with-locale seems to be the
default anyway. which seems questionable to me.

This all seems kind of strange though.

Comments?

BTW my locale settings:
garyj:peedub:~:-bash:35> locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=
