>Environment:
	libs Aug 6, bins Aug 6, vi was compiled as of todays current
System: NetBSD NetBSD.demon.co.uk 1.0A NetBSD 1.0A (NETBSD) #1: Fri Aug 4 12:17:47 BST 1995 neil@NetBSD.demon.co.uk:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/NETBSD sparc


>Description:
	In vi when editing a line with:
    set ts=4
    set wrapmargin=5
    set wrapscan
    When inserting text near the end of a line, what looks like to be a 
    memory leak or data going past bounds, The line is corrupt with lots of
   ^@'s Trying an ^[:e! to get the file back segfaults vi:

[no idea if this is any use]

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install vi current, Use the settings mentioned above
Edit a file with a line like this:
       Exec    "elm"         exec rsh axe "exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -fg skyblue -bg black -T Mail -n Mail -e /usr/local/bin/elm &" & </dev/ull >/dev/null 

In this example try and insert this after the "/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm" part,
-display NetBSD:0 and the problem should happen, then do ^[:e! and vi will 
seg fault.

>Fix:
A workaround for this was to add it in another part of the line...
