Program: vi
Severity:minor
Releases:  Sun 3.0 Pilot, Eakens 4.2BSD (Vax 11/750)

Description:
  In vi with the varible wrapmargin set to anything there is a bug with 'p'ing 
long lines.  Most of the 'p'uted line is installed correctly, but the end 
gets trashed and some lines after it get trashed.  Also the user gets left
in input mode.  I have tested this on two differnt terminals (Ann Arbor Guru,
Sun(shelltool)).

Repeat-By:
  Set your wrapmargin to 3.  On the line that starts "SRCS" go to the
word 'main' and give the command 'D', now give the command 'p'.
#
SRCS= main.c config.c questions.c locks.c valadate.c report.c login.c input.c crap.c
