Bug#710472: nvi :file command gives nonsensical percentages

[Paul Vojta <vojta@math.berkeley.edu>]

Package: nvi
Version: 1.81.6-10
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

The :file command (also ^G) often gives nonsensical percentages in its output.

For example (while editing this bug report):

/tmp/mutt-xps-1000-8668-306287981309926837: modified: line 8 of 32
[140733193388057%]

(It sometimes does give the right percentage, though.)
