>Description:
If you leave vi idle for too long (a couple of minutes) when you return and try and type something
vi says:

Error: input: Bad address

vi then usually core dumps - occaisonally it will recover and continue.
I kept some cores if you want me to do something with them. messges says
it vi is exiting on signal 11.
>How-To-Repeat:
Leave vi idle for 10 or so minutes and then type something in it.

 Is this over NFS?
 
 ISTR that a friend has also complained about this behaviour.  I'm
 not sure whether upgrading his system helped.
 
 Holm, what's the current wisdom about this?

 This looks like a duplicate of kern/2043.  Dan Cross reported it with
 vi, and I think someone else recently reported having a similar
 problem.
 
 If this isn't hardware trouble, then it's definitely a kernel bug,
 since vi is passing the same address to read over and over but only
 gets EFAULT once.  See the ktrace in kern/2043.
