[vile] bug report - split window, unnamed file |

Greetings.
I found a pretty obscure bug. It probably doesn't affect anything
important, but I figured I'd mention it.
vile version 9.8n for linux-gnu, installed Sun Jul 6 21:34:34 2014
1. Run "vile" with no file name to edit an "unnamed" buffer
2. Split the window with ^x 2
3. In the top window, type some text. The matching text will appear in
the bottom window.
4. Issue the ":e!" command. The system will ask "Reread current buffer?"
Answer "y". It will then ask "Discard changes to [unnamed]?"
Answer "y".
5. The top window is cleared, but the bottom window is not.
At this point, I can switch to the other window, and the cursor is placed
on the first character of the improperly-displayed text. I cannot edit
the text, and any attempt to "i"nsert or "a"ppend text will erase the
window properly.
This does not appear to happen with a named buffer -- that is, if I
"vile testfile" then :e! works correctly.
