I have a fully updated installation and I have never had a problem with
using vi and rxvt at 67 lines x 80 columns - see below.

$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 67; columns 80; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
eol2 = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase =
^W;
lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;
