>Description:

In some cirtumstances, the "vi recovery" thing started at boot time
fails to work and the system just freezes on that point. Hitting Ctrl-C
usually helps, but not always; it's quite irritating, especially when one
does not use vi at all.
I thing a solution would be putting some new option into rc.conf (like
vi_recovery_enable="YES/NO"), which would control starting or not
the vi recovery thing.
	
>How-To-Repeat:

I'm not sure why it happens; none of my servers seem to be affected,
but my workstation is.
	
>Fix:

As stated above.
