Hmmm, that's interesting:
if I do
# while true; do vim -u NONE ; done
then I can run vi forever without getting the problem, which is a relief.

I don't think it's my .exrc - actually, I haven't got one (it's a shared root account, so in my .gnbashrc, I set EXINIT:

[root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ~]# echo $EXINIT
set ts=2 ht=2 sw=2 sm ws ic ai

I have no plugins, and it's a freshly installed box, so nothing non-standard. Must be something Redhat have done. Any idea how I can track this down, and thanks for the useful response. I'm quite surprised this hasn't been seen before.
