What was the older version?  It sounds (below) as if you're getting some 
effect from the locale support (which has been by default on for a few 
years (20021223).  The only recent changes I've made that are specific to 
xvile were restructuring the internal interfaces (shouldn't be 
user-visible).

Aside from a couple of ~1996 or 1997 systems, I've not had problems with 
locale (but generally that's en_US).

Locale support is compiled-in (iirc, it's activated before .vilerc is 
read).

If it's not that simple (recompiling), then knowing the older version
would help to narrow it down.  I do have a FreeBSD 6.0 (but only a 
US-style keyboard - perhaps using digraph.rc would let me reproduce the
problem).
