The AT&T 3B1 (aka 7300 aka UNIX-PC) vi has modeline[s] on by default, with
no way to turn it off!  I'm thinking of writing a simple C program, called vi,
that scans the file[s] to be edited looking for the culprit string.  It will
delete or modify the offending string and then call the real vi.  I don't
know how much interest there is in something like this, but I will post the
source if and when I ever get it done.
