Subject: amusing vi bug
Sender: owner-freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org

After

	umask 777      # silly season
	rm -f /tmp/z
	touch /tmp/z
	vi /tmp/z

vi recurses endlessly in file_open() and files up /tmp with temporary
files until the filesysem containing /tmp runs out of indodes or some
other limit is hit.

This may have been fixed.  contrib/nvi is 8 versions out of date
(1.79 - 1.71).
