That just means the system went down while someone had a file open in
vi, so you have vi save files in /var/tmp/vi.recover/ and the system
at that moment in the start up is generating email messages to the
owners of the files saying "run vi -r".

Solution: read your email!  Run "vi -r" as each user that has files
under /var/tmp/vi.recover/ to see what files where half-edited and
then use "vi -r filename" on each, either saving the contents or
throwing them away with :q!
