>Description:
in the file /etc/login.conf
there is an option to set up environment during login

The logic on libutil and sshd  does not tread white spaces as described in man(5) login.conf
>How-To-Repeat:

put a line in the :default: section of /etc/login.conf

       :setenv[EXINIT=set\\ ai\\ showmode\\ number:\

logout, login again and try to use vi editor...

you will see that the environemnt (env) is full of garbage...
>Fix:
