>Description:
	On NetBSD 1.5 with an alpha, vi dumps core when searching for
	some (but not all!) characters with the high bit set.  This
	problem doesn't occur with -current, and I don't have any other
	(running) 1.5 boxes to test against...
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	On an alpha:

		echo a > a
		vi a
		/^X90<return>

	where ^X is <ctrl-X>.
>Fix:
	Not known.  There are no code difference between the 1.5 and
	-current vi sources.  Perhaps something in ctype(3)?
