  log: "It is ridiculous to truncate files on character conversions without\nwarning
    and a chance for recovery. This patch sets the handler to\ncopy the character,
    clear the error and proceed instead of bailing\nout.\n\nTo replicate:\n\t- unset
    LANG\n\t- Create a file that has ~1000 lines. Put a single bad character\n\t-
    '\\344' in it, around 2/3rds of the file down. Save it.\n\t- export LANG=en_US.UTF-8\n\t-
    edit the file. Notice there is no error for input conversion,\n\t  since nvi reads
    the file opportunistically.\n\t- :w Boom, the file is truncated.\n\nAlternatively,
    you can put that character in the first line of the file,\nand watch the fireworks.
    If you like to restore the previous behavior\ncompile with -DERROR_ON_CONVERT\n\nXXX:
    Pullup to 6, 5 etc.\n"
