strace has following lines near the end

write(1, "\33[?1049h\33[39;1H\"/var/tmp\" ", 26) = 26
write(1, "\33[7mValue too large for defined "..., 41) = 41
write(1, "\33[27m\n", 6)                = 6

It cut the second part of the message "Value too large for
defined...". Just run vi without strace and check vi output/logs, most
likely the error will be self-descriptive.
