>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.
