VI dumps core for no reason

Depending on the version of "vi" being used on the `286, core will
be dumped if "showmatch" is set and parentheses &c. are encountered
on input. May happen even if not in "visual" mode.
Once you get up to vers 3.7 you are reasonably safe from core dumps
(tho "recover" doesn't work here, and filesize is limited to 45K).
