While I try to close (and save, if need be) any vi windows that I
have open, I still run into cases where I get mail from root that I have a
killed vi process and can recover the file by typing
vi -r <file-name>
unfortunately most of the time I get a core dump (which gets named vi.core )
after doing this, and I can only recall about two occasions when such drastic
action didn't happen and I was able to recover the file.
What is causing this core dump, anything I can do about it?
After I have tried to recover the file and have gotten the core dump, I
still get mail about that file, so someplace in the system there is extant
information stored about the killed vi process, where is this and how can I
get rid of it? (I presume that the vi -r command would have taken care of
this had it not crashed.)
uname -a for my system gives:
FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Apr 21 10:54:49 GMT 2001
