I have seen vi do this action when it didn't understand a keycode on teh
terminal you are using properly... change the case of a few letters next
to the cursor. But IIRC that was busybox vi.
Is it crazy to propose someone opened /etc/passwd in vi, and saved it
out without noticing this had happened?
