using Emacs 18.49

There seems to be a problem when switching in and out of picture mode
while vip-mode is loaded.  Emacs gets locked in Emacs mode and the
status line says that it is in vi mode.  There does not seem to be a
way to actually get back into vi mode once the following sequence of
commands has occurred.

      M-x vip-mode
      C-z
      M-x picture-mode
      C-z
      C-c C-c

It works fine if you leave picture mode in the same major mode as you
started picture mode with.

-------------------------

Just for your information, in my opinion vip-mode is better than
vi-mode.  With some new key bindings and some variable set up vip
looks very much like vi with all the power of Emacs.  Vip also has
some fixes to things I did not like in real vi.
