vi DOES use curses on SYS V.  The source to jove currently posted in mod.sources
seems to as well.  I've noticed similar problems with the ansi terminfo entry
from Multiport.  I've had more success with the minansi entry which is a subset.
At some point I guess I'll have to debug ansi (Multiport refuses to do it), 
unless someone out there has already done it.
