Subject: vi "W10: Warning: Changing a readonly file" on large read-write file

When attempting to edit a *writeable* file of "zero" lines but 53 MB in size
(no newlines), vi appears to hang.  Ctrl-C is followed by the response
	W10: Warning: Changing a readonly file
following which it appears that one is editing a new file.  Quitting without
writing succeeds.

	cygwin 1.5.12-1
	vim 6.3-1

Cheers
Michael
