I have SCO Xenix 2.3.2 with dev. sys. I tried the history file thing
and got "Temp file too large" at 10,305 lines, 518,144 characters. I
would think that the "buggy" vi would have been in the older version 
with the correction in the newer (2.3.2) version, but hey - SCO is 
always full of suprizes...
