Summary:                    vi crashes often
Description: 
I have been using BusyBox since version 0.6 and I have always noticed that
'vi' will crash while editing a file.  One of the guys I work with has
found a way to reproduce the crash every time.

Load VI on either a new file or a previously created one and then pres the
following keys:

iThis is a test.<ESC>7<Left>i<C-BS><C-BS>was<ESC>7<Left>x

Once you have pressed 'x' busybox will enter a system where it is causing
a Memory dump over and over until you login on another session and kil the
vi process.  

This problem was seen using kernel 2.4.20 (if that is of any importance)
