>Originator:     Diana Northup
>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Kenneth Ingham Consulting
>Environment:

The standard vi from the distribution; the complete hardware config is
available if it would help.

>Description:

Working in the file and got the error:
	Error: unable to retrieve line XXX.  
The next thing I did ended up with vi dying with a segmentation fault.

It created a recover file, and doing vi -r on it dies with the same
error, but on a different (earlier) line.

>How-To-Repeat:

Get the recover files and try to recover.  Take a look at the (remains of the)
file.

Relevant files are available via anonymous ftp from ftp://ftp.i-pi.com/pub
and the files are:

nsfcur.tex	the original, un-mangled file.
recover.004078	one of the vi recovery files
vi.a04078       the other of the vi recovery files
vi.core		the core dump from one of the deaths.

>Fix:
	
None known.

 Can you please change the modes of these files so that they
 are all accessible?  I was unable to ftp them due to them
 having the wrong permissions.  Thanks.
