Here's a few more facts relating to my vi problem:
vi will die whenever the /tmp file gets larger than 518144 bytes.
This is exactly 506K (i.e., 506 * 1024). I seem to
remember in Unix there's a file that specifies the amount of
space any one use can occupy in /tmp, but I can't seem to
find a similar thing in Xenix 2.3 (386).
Also, as I said before, there's *plenty* of room on the device
that holds /tmp. One thing I can't figure: If my text file is
only 300 or so K, why is the /tmp file so much bigger?
