Well, it is loss of editing, since busybox vi, unlike, say, vim,
does not create intermediate save files. Indeed, that's not a
loss of original file, just the editing changes in current session.
But the issue is entirely different, it isn't in vi applet to
start with, as I stated in a followup email, -- I misinterpreted
it initially.
