Description c1995207 1999-08-06 14:40:01 UTC

	vi in FreeBSD(98)-2.2.8R-Release core dumped.
	I wrote a semi-colon (;) at top of columns in ".exrc".
	Next, I executed vi. Then vi core dumped in segmentation fault.
	It's not important that where line you put a semi-colon in.
	More important, semi-colon is top of columns without space characters.
	
	example of .exrc:
	
	;set showmode		[core dump]
	    ;set showmode	[core dump]
	  ; set showmode	[core dump]
	set ;showmode		[no]

How-To-Repeat: 
	Put a semi-colon at top of columns in ".exrc".

Problem is fixed in the vi that is part of 3.4-stable (maybe already 
fixed in an earlier release but I don't have a system running < 3.4-stable). 
Instead of a coredump a warning/error message is produced.
