hi,

in the past few hours i've not been able to run "vi" on my console,
as it get a panic:

text fault: pc=0 ser=80<INVAL>
panic: kernel fault

it's always the same panic everytime, and it always happens when i
run vi on the console.  vi is *fine* if i boot x.

everyother program seems to be ok -- it's just vi that does this.

i don't know what has changed -- several week old kernels that i
distictly remember using vi on the console with are now failing.

i've tried a complete power cycle, and all my disks seem ok.  can
anyone think of any possible causes ?  :-(
