AH -- I just upgraded to RedHat 9, maybe it's the culprit!

In that case, you can get back to the good ol' vi behavior by unaliasing vi in your own rc files or disable /etc/profile.d/vim.sh or vim.csh. Red Hat graciously hides the normal vi program behind an alias to vim.

That's a feature of recent versions of vim, the vi replacement several
flavors of Linux include now-days.  Personally, it drives me nuts.
