On SLES 9 I did rpm -qa | grep vi and got this:
vim-6.2-235.1
device-mapper-1.01.01-1.6
providers-2004.4.2-4.1
initviocons-0.4-298.1
sysvinit-2.85-21.3
It looks like the only vi file is vim and it is at the 6.2-235.1 level.
This one works as you would like.
I also have a Red Hat Lin-z system: Linux xxxxxxxx 2.4.21-9.EL #1 SMP Thu
Jan 8 16:59:07 EST 2004 s390 s390 s390 GNU/Linux
It fails as yours does. I do an rpm -qa | grep vi and it shows:
htmlview-2.0.0-10
vim-common-6.2.98-1
redhat-logviewer-0.9.3-5
redhat-config-services-0.8.5-19
vim-minimal-6.2.98-1
vixie-cron-3.0.1-74
I would be tempted to download and install a newer release of vim from
somewhere.

Toto, I have a feeling we're not in the mainframe world any more.
