Subject: Vi will have an 'internal error' in vgoto
Index: /usr/ucb/ex/??? 4.2 BSD
Description:
If you have ONLY 1 line in a file, it is longer than 80 chars, and
you are not in the first 80 chars, then there can be an error in
vgoto when trying to redisplay the file, from a suspended state.
Repeat-By:
Create a file with > 80 characters in the first AND ONLY line in
the file.
type ^Z
get your csh prompt
type fg
notice the internal error
If you have more than 1 line, the screen will remain blank, until
you type some char, vi will then correctly redisplay the screen.
