Since I've answered this privately for several people, I'll post a msg
this time.  This "feature" of elvis, along with a couple others, is one
of the warts on elvis.  The solution is to look for where your temp files
are going and them remove "elv*".

Does it slightly irritate anyone else that elvis, on ^D (ctrl-D), does not
paint to the end of the line?  Yucko when it's background is not your normal
background color.  A REAL irritation is that the RE that I use in searches
("/" or "?") is not known by ":g//p" or any other ":g//".  This necessary
behavior for compatibility with vi is missing.
