Interesting.
Are you sure that's vim? On my Kubuntu 13.04, vi gives me vim 7.3.547 "Huge version with GTK2 GUI" "Modified by pkg-vim-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org" and it clips lines to 1000 and columns to 10000, and only uses about 150 kiB.

So, which Linux distro? And when you run "vi", what does

:ver

say? What does (in your shell)

ls -l /etc/alternatives/vi

say?
