I just updated my system to:

FreeBSD luke.immure.com 10.0-STABLE FreeBSD 10.0-STABLE #4 r262929: Sat Mar  8 14:42:19 CST 2014     bob at luke.immure.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LUKE  amd64

on the chance that it might be due to a difference between your level and mine
but the problem persists. Any change to the vi xterm window puts vi into a
loop that requires a 'kill -9' to get it out of.
