>Description:
	When resizing an xterm some window managers (xfce4 being an example) will
	send a resize update for every line or column changed. If vi is bring run
	in such a situation there is a high likelyhood it will abruptly exit with
	"ex/vi: error initializing terminal", losing any changes made.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Install xfce4, run vi in xterm, open file /etc/defaults/rc.conf, resize
	window. Just increasing the number of rows can trigger this.
