>Description:
Sometimes, when using vi with a large tags-file, vi dumps core when asked 
(by means of :ta) to jump from a modified file to a tag in a non-loaded file.
This is what is left on the screen:
	Segmentation fault (core dumped)e write; write or use ! to override
One can see that vi first wrote 
	File modified since last complete write; write or use ! to override
then dumped core.

I am sorry to repeat: sometimes; it seems to depend on the contents of the 
tags-file, but it might also be the size of it.

>How-To-Repeat:
	ctags *.[ch] in a large directory
	vi main.c
	[ edit the file ]
	:ta foo
	(where foo is a valid tag)
