No - its just the L1 page table field as explained in other messages to
this list.

Indeed.

The solution to vi is to install patch set 2 from the sets directory on
the ftp server (patch12-2.*).  However, I am getting the same behaviour
with perl core
dumping on code - it happened when I tried to use a associated array, and
I have all the patch sets from 1-3 installed.

On another note, xosview has stopped working with the latest kernels -
I guess it just needs a recompile, like ps, systat etc. needed.
