When I run vi in Terminal and increase the font size to the point where
the typeface seems to change [Try it and you'll see what I mean.  I
don't recall the exact point size where this happens, but it is
somewhaere around 15 or 16.], certain searches result in vi doing what
seems to be an "OM".  For example, suppose the buffer contains:

Atext
Btext
Ctext

and I say "/^B<RET>".  I will sometimes, but not always, get

Atext
M	<- in input mode here
Btext
Ctext

Unfortunately, this doesn't happen on all files and it doesn't seem to
happen with the smaller, normal typeface.  I find the larger type easier
to read so I am reluctant to do all my editing in the smaller size.  Any
ideas what is happeing?
