VI does not actually crash when I try to run it. It just simply won't
function properly. Let say for instance you are under edit mode and you type
in the arrow keys (not the numerical keypad) to navigate. Instead of the
normal navigation function, it will jumble all letters (making it uppercase,
etc..)

@Rivdan
Yes, vim-full was installed already before I configure SSH to be chrooted.
Before I have difficulties on running other editors like PICO/NANO but I
found out that there are still libraries to be included such as xterm. So I
included it on the bash script and now it is working properly. I just
couldn't find any information on VI. :(

@Ron Michael
>> What do you mean load needed libraries on it?
I'm referring on VI not the system.

>> Im not familiar with chrooted environment?
As to my understanding according to this link (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot). It actually isolates a certain program
or service to be restricted in a way that that particular user cannot access
or view other users' space or programs on the system, only their own.

As to my experience, I have already chrooted DNS (bind) and SSH (openssh)

So in my case, I have successfully chrooted SSH and loaded needed libraries
on it for certain programs that I allow.
However, I only got a problem with VI. :(

I hope this clear things up..
