I've had the bug fix for this since Sept, sorry I haven't posted it yet.
Here it is.  This will get me off by butt and get the rest of the bug
fixes that I've been sitting on posted.

Subject: Vi core dumps on SIGINT input. +Fix
Index:	ucb/ex/{ex_vget.c, ex_vmain.c, ex_voper.c} 4.3BSD +Fix

Description:
	When vi receives the a SIGINT, it can queue it as the input character
	ATTN (value -2).  This character is returned by getkey() (peekkey()).
	In some cases, vi asks if the character received is an xxx with
	``isxxx''.  The ``isxxx'' macros index the array _ctype_[] to
	determine the type of the character.  If _ctype_ begins on a page
	boundary and the previous page is not a valid page, a segment fault
	will occur.
Repeat-By:
	vi foo
	<user types INTERRUPT character>
	When _ctype_ begins on a page boundary and the previous page is not
	valid.
Fix:
	Guard against checking indexing _ctype_ when the character may be
	ATTN.
	The attached code solves this problem at Elxsi.
