[snip - problem under FreeBSD with vile-9.7 when iconv is not enabled]
Revisiting this - as exactly as I can with my 6.0 FreeBSD, I'm still
not seeing a problem. I set the locale the same, and am indeed linking
to iconv (different versions of course):
../bin/vile:
libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x28122000)
libncurses.so.6 => /lib/libncurses.so.6 (0x2820f000)
libperl.so => /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/mach/CORE/libperl.so
(0x2824e0>
libm.so.4 => /lib/libm.so.4 (0x28350000)
libcrypt.so.3 => /lib/libcrypt.so.3 (0x28366000)
libutil.so.5 => /lib/libutil.so.5 (0x2837e000)
libpthread.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.2 (0x2838a000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x283af000)
I didn't see anything useful in my log-comments for eightbit.c, but
as I mentioned, I seem to recall fixing during development some issue
that would cause vile to ignore input. That's a thousand lines of
code though (I don't recall whether it was sign-extension or checking
return-values from iconv).
It may very well be a) something specific to 8-current or b) a side-
effect of some other port which I have installed. The way in which
port dependencies interact is pretty much impossible to analyze. And
since I only have 8-current installed I can't evaluate it any better.
OBTW the problem disappears for me too when I link against iconv. I
