I have not seen that happen, but I have seen a very annoying bug with 
declaring the backspace key to be "delete".  Occasionally when I hit
`backspace' in the vi editor it acts as if I have typed:  ESC h
The net result of which is to pop me out of insert mode and to back up
the cursor one space. This is extremely annoying, and I will probably
delete the patch soon to get rid of the bug....
Has anyone else seen this?
