From: Jim Lebeau Date: Fri, 20 May 2016 20:35:51 -0500 Subject: Allow exec of nvi-opened file This patch allows the files that are being edited by nvi to be executed by others. Otherwise a ETXTBSY will occur. Fix proposed in https://bugs.debian.org/891174 . The original bug report also listed the fix. Explanation from Bug#891174: Opening the file read-only is enough for flock() -- please notice that ep->fd is only used to keep the lock hot, that's not the descriptor that is used for reading or writing data to the file.
