Regarding that vi bug that causes a core dump when you give a big count to
the ^B command....

If you don't get so greedy and ask for fewer screenfulls, vi can take you to
secret places seen by only the priveleged few.  Like places beyond the
end-of-file!

Try a modest-sized number of ^F's, but be careful!  It's real dark out there...
