Error description
When the "vi" command is run in a multibyte locale to edit a file with a multibyte character which spans the boundary of the file buffer and is the first character of a line, the preceding line is shown two times on the vi screen and the multibyte character is shown with the first byte removed. If the edited file is written, those changes are written to storage.
Local fix
Problem summary
Multibyte files may not be viewed correctly in vi. duplicate lines might get displayed and some multibyte characters might get garbled.
Problem conclusion
Some multibyte characters were getting skipped by the way vi reads in a file. Modified vi to handle multibyte characters properly so that they are read in the right manner in every case.
Temporary fix
