Architecture: i386

/usr/bin/vi compiled on Jan 16th from a -current source.
>Description:
ex can be fooled into getting a segv.
>How-To-Repeat:
% ex
/tmp/vi.08947b: new file: line 1
:r/tmp/ok
Error: /tmp/ok: No such file or directory
:e/tmp/ok
:i
.
Segmentation fault
%
>Fix:
suspect something the ":r" does fools ":e" into not knowing
that /tmp/ok is a new file. (does not segv without the :r).
note that it worked ok in NetBSD/1.5:
xbsd[2]> ex
/tmp/vi.29709b: new file: line 1
:r/tmp/ok
Error: /tmp/ok: No such file or directory
:e/tmp/ok
/tmp/ok: new file: line 1
:i
.
