>Description:
If you leave vi idle for too long (a couple of minutes) when you return and try and type something
vi says:

Error: input: Bad address

vi then usually core dumps - occaisonally it will recover and continue.
I kept some cores if you want me to do something with them. messges says
it vi is exiting on signal 11.
>How-To-Repeat:
Leave vi idle for 10 or so minutes and then type something in it.
