Summary: Bug still in 3.10

< Subject: bug in 3.6 vi (probably 3.7 also)
< 
< Description:
< 	Vi has a bug in it when the ^^ (control ^) command is used if the
<     current file has been modified and there was no previous file edited
<     and vi set for autowrite.
<     ...
<     When, under the above circumstances, this key is hit, the current file
<     will be written out, the error message of "No filename substitute for #"
<     will be displayed, then the last line of the file will REPLACE the
<     current line the cursor is on.  If at this point the ^^ key is 
<     accidently hit again, the file, now with a bogus line, will be written
<     out again.

I just checked my beta-version of 3.10 Vi (the version going into UNIX
System Vr3) and the bug still exists. Maybe it'll get fixed for Vr4.
