an xterm it's running in. The vi signal behavior would catch and restarts lots
of signals, like SIGHUP, that should just kill the thing. (Leftover behavior
from when it would segfault all the time.) Filtered out the more obviously
bad ones. If it segfaults, we should find and fix the problem.
SIGIOT is not defined in any standard i can find and it seems to be
useless (alias for SIGABRT) on linux. i put it in #ifdef but it's
probably best just to remove it and cut down the size a bit.
0000474: vi crashes often
problem was that the buffer used for "." command ("last_modifying_cmd")
wasn't being maintined correctly -- the recording code was walking back
over the front of that buffer when a repeatable insert command
included backspacing (e.g. "i\b\b\bfoo"). the fix is to simply
record the backspaces along with the rest of the command.
also, cleaned up start_new_cmd_q() slightly.
correct screen, and bug 215 reports trouble with the status line
on small screens.
with this change a) the status line should always be refreshed
properly, b) the status line is a little shorter than it used to
be ("I" instead of "--INSERT--"), c) the status line will be
truncated if it doesn't fit on the screen, and d) if the screen
is too narrow for an error or transient status message (from
psb() or psbs()), then that message will be followed by a "Hit
Return" prompt. (it wasn't until i did this last bit that the
size grew. with this, these changes add about 150 bytes.)

This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.
Erik - please apply.
Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.
Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.
I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.
What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?
Good luck on the 1.00 release!

Hi All,
I aplogoize for the mistake, but i have just recognized that somehow the
last patch I sent in was wrong, and a '0' was instead of a '-1'. Because
of this, vi does behave the wrong way. So again, it should be the last
patch for vi. This is for pre7.
Hi,
I've noticed the bug also, and here is another patch for it. I hope it'll
not introduce more bugs. Not too nice, but works for me.
Here it is for busybox-1.00-pre6
