Hi,

I just started experiencing the following problem. I started editing a
text file. The very first keystrokes I issued were "/ul" to start a 
search. Instead of searching, vi quits [does not drop a corefile] and
the following message is displayed:

    Error: svi_refresh.c/677: move:l(4294967295), c(3), o(0).

Any ideas?

I have had vi dump core on me twice in the last week but the situations
were different each time and I have not reproduced them.

Dean...K...
