Thank you for assuming I posted an answer without trying to reproduce
your problem.

I did `: q RET' and got back to a prompt.
Admittedly, I didn't get the same behavior as you did. So maybe if you
give us more details about your system, your shell, show us the output of
`printenv' before you run `vi', and also show us how you got there,
starting from `emacs -q --no-site-file'.

Just that your "example session" looked strikingly similar to the one in the
ed joke (which comes straight out of the etc/JOKES file in the Emacs
distribution) and that this ed joke is my favorite geek joke.
