Doesn't matter. The standard definition for /tmp (per FHS) is "contains |
| 9 |
files that are not expected to persists across different invocations of |
| 10 |
a program". Never mind reboots, if you just exit and restart vi, it |
| 11 |
cannot expect the temp file to still be there. |

vi is a sane program and will in all likelihood respect this |
| 14 |
almost-universal standard. If anyone wants different behaviour (can't |
| 15 |
think why...) then configure vi to use a different directory as a |
| 16 |
scratch pad |
