ongoing vi issues ....

["William A. Mahaffey III" <wam%hiwaay.net@localhost>]

.... When using 'vi' under NetBSD-7 (see uname below), logged in from a 
FreeBSD 9.3R box (see other uname :-) ), newly fully updated as of this 
A.M. (base & pkg's), under a rxvt-tcsh shell in the FBSD box, 
specifically the 'ctrl-e' command, reliably crashes the terminal window 
on the FBSD box.

NetBSD-7:

NetBSD 7.0_BETA (RPI.201503272230Z)

Welcome to NetBSD!

This system is running a beta release of the NetBSD operating system, aimed
at stabilizing the next formal release.  It is close to formal release 
quality,
but may still contain bugs, even serious ones.  Please bear this in mind and
use the system with care.

You are encouraged to test this version as thoroughly as possible. 
Should you
encounter any problem, please report it back to the development team 
using the
send-pr(1) utility (requires a working MTA).  If yours is not properly 
set up,
use the web interface at: http://www.NetBSD.org/support/send-pr.html

Thank you for helping us test and improve this beta NetBSD release.

Terminal type is xterm.
We recommend that you create a non-root account and use su(1) for root 
access.

The last 2 lines are from the crashed session on the NetBSD box .... 
This could well be some obscure case of incompatible interactions, 
however it *is* a plague for me :-/ .... Need anything else, please ask. 
TIA & have a good one ....
