Package: nvi
Version: 1.81.6-3

When I edit /var/lib/dpkg/status using nvi and then search for a
string (or page down a few times), I get:
"Conversion error on line 428"
I then can't 428G, but 427G reveals:

Package: libgammu3
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: libs
Installed-size: 1028
~
Architecture: i386
Source: gammu

(line 428 is the ~).

Using a different vi, this line appears as:
Maintainer: Michal \304\214iha\305\231 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Other lines with the same Maintainer are similarly garbled, and
attempting to write the file out to some other filename truncates it
to 427 lines.

This seems to hold for any line that contains a character with the top bit set.
