>Environment:

	-current

>Description:

	When vi is unable to make a backup for recovery, it prints a warning
	on the bottom line of the screen. After this, the display can get
	confused.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Fill /var/tmp or point vi.recover to a full or read-only filesystem.
	Edit a file containing unique lines of ascii text. Delete the top line
	and notice that after the warning status is displayed and has been
	dismissed, there are 2 identical lines displayed on the screen and no
	simple way to redisplay the screen to reflect the actual file content.

>Fix:
	
	???
