vi bug found

For those who want vi to work before V2.3c is released, the problem is
in the divide instruction.  Look for:

		dst = src / src2;
		if ((dst >= 077777) || (dst < -0100000)) {

and change the second line to:

		if ((dst > 077777) || (dst < -0100000)) {

(Thanks to Steve Schultz for finding this.)

The magtape bootstrap is also broken, that will be fixed in V2.3c as
well.
