I did a little bit of poking around, and it seems that vi has issues with |
| 2 |
the "linux" termcap. I found that if I change the TERM environment |
| 3 |
variable for my text console from "linux" to "ansi", a very quick test of |
| 4 |
vi seems to work fine. |

|

I think I've narrowed down the problem to a call to the tgetstr function |
| 7 |
in ncurses, attempting to get some value that should be non-null, which |
| 8 |
leads me to believe that maybe the term settings for "linux" might not be |
| 9 |
totally kosher. I don't really know how a lot of the termcap stuff works |
| 10 |
(this is my first exposure to it), but if you want, I can provide somebody |
| 11 |
(Spider?) with my reasoning+gdb output... I don't think that it's a vi |
| 12 |
(or necessarily ncurses) problem anymore. |
