vim consume huge memory and can cause oom stty rows/columns 65535

vi developers,

With the following setting, vi can consume up to 40GB on my Linux (64 bit) machine:

stty rows 65535
stty columns 65535
vi /tmp/foo

Please don't run as root as you may bring down your Linux machine (due to Out Of Memory).

I think this need to be fixed. Let me know your thoughts.

Regards
Jieming
