[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi there,

Just encountered a bug in VI.
Editing file 'x' using vi, when done, content of file 'x' was saved as well in file 'y'.
File 'y' has no relation to file 'x' and is sitting in a different directory.
Only relation was file 'x' was created through a cp command from file 'y'.
Now changes made either on file 'y' or 'x' appear in both files.

Regards
