Yesterday it was crashing the whole login session, see below from the 
remote machine (FreeBSD 9.3R):

It definitely doesn't display correctly when you either page down 
(ctrl-f') or scroll down (ctrl-y), shows artifacts from the text that 
was in the rxvt window before vi was invoked. That is cleared up w/ 
'ctrl-l', & clears up AOK. I can't locate any error messages from the 
RPi, or any evidence of a vi core dump, where do I look besides my 
messages file ?
