You've apparently got the gvim variant of vim installed, and it may be doing stupid things presuming it's got an X display active. Try: unset DISPLAY vi foo ... and see if that resolves the issue. If it doesn't, post the output of 'dpkg --get-selections | grep ^vi' ... which should show what version(s) of vi(s) you have install. Hrm.... Would that be a word to the vi(s)? ... nevermind.
