+This patch originates from the Debian project, see https://www.debian.org/

+
+
+Make sure that the pagesize passed to db__set_pagesize() is a power of two.
+
+nvi stores the content of files in BDB database structures. When initiating a
+file, it picks a page size for the database to fit the file within 15 pages,
+with a minimal page size of 1K and maximal of 10K.
+
+In vanilla nvi, this size is calculated as a multiple of 1024. Modern versions
+of BDB, however, require the page size of a database to be a power of two, which
+this patch addresses, ridding us of the following message:
+
+ BDB0511 page sizes must be a power-of-2
