I think I found a bug in vi.  I haven't checked the code for a fix.
If anyone else has noticed this and has the fix please reply to
me.

Given:
	file x is nonexistant
	file y has arbitrary text

	$ vi x
	:r y
	ZZ

Nothing gets written to file x. The buffer status does not get
changed to 'modified' (I checked with a ^G).  Any ideas?
