Another fun AIX coredump sans data segment, I see.  The stack traces
reported by dbx and adb are different, a situation which usually causes
me to rapidly lose interest in the problem.

Anyway, I can't repeat the problem, so I was wondering if you can.  I
tried running nvi on combine.c in the gccdev locker in an xterm brought
up from an RS/6000, but I wasn't able to make it die by paging through
the file.  Is there anything else I should know?  Did you have a .exrc
file at the time?  Was the xterm of unusual dimension?

As far as the compiler goes, nvi was built with gcc 2.  I don't see any
reason to believe that rebuilding with a new xlc would improve anything
