Yes, I see the exact same result on my IPX with the fast-console hack
(thanks to whoever posted that!  I've made friends with that routine!).
If anyone has a solution to this problem, please let me know as well.

It seems to be triggered by the exit-curses-mode stuff that vi sends.

 * a Sun4M (sparcstation 5) with a TGX (cg6) framebuffer on NetBSD 1.2.

 * pieces of "earlier" screens.  Clearing the screen "fixes" the problem,

 * 	Has anyone seen anything similar?  Any solutions?
