I think this came up net too long ago (and I got bitten by it when I
upgraded to SunOS4.1!).  The library used by `vi' and it's friends is the
System V libc, not the BSD one.  Check that you have /usr/5lib installed.

If you run `ldd /usr/ucb/vi' it will tell you what libraries it wants and
where it is expecting to find them.
