At least here, vi can open non-ASCII files, but as I said previously, it won't show the lines with non-ASCII characters. The worst thing is if you try to save this file, vi will save it only up to the first line with a non-ASCII character:

$ cat test.txt This line is fine mas essa não (but this one isn't) neither is this one.

Then open it with vi and try to save it.

$ cat test.txt This line is fine

and that's all.

Vi does crash, but only when I type a non-ASCII character.

Might be worth seeing if we can find a patch to fix the crash at least.
