System: NetBSD rpi 7.0_BETA NetBSD 7.0_BETA (RPI.kefrenSD0) #1: Wed Sep 3 18:42:21 EEST 2014 kefren@stargate.girsa.ro:/data/work/kefren/netbsd-7/src/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/obj/RPI.kefrenSD0 evbarm

>Description:

	nvi ignores ~/.[n]exrc files in certain undocumented conditions:
	 * /etc/vi.exrc not owned by root
	 * /etc/vi.exrc parsed with errors
	 * NEXINIT or EXINIT set in environment
	 * ~/.[n]exrc file not owned by current euid, or writable by group or
	   others

	While most of the cases alert the user, the [N]EXINIT env case doesn't.

	Don't know if current nvi does the right thing in all the above cases but
	vi manpage should document this behaviour - especially the silent ignoring
	case.
