I only use vi when I am unhappy... a kind of self-punishment. ;)

Using an earlier (September source distributioin) I can not reproduce
your problem on Debian stable. Either this is due to a recent change
in Axiom sources or (perhaps) you have some different file permissions

No, AXIOMsys is **not** written in C. It is written in Lisp. It is
a saved GCL image.
