[ale] inode change after vi a file ?

[Jerry Yu]

without agressive inode recycling, one'd run out of inodes at some point too
...
it may be a feature for VIM, can it be turned off  by some magic switch?  I
see it as a bug personally. wonder whether/how oowriter and nano do reliable
atomic writes. also wonder how vi on Solaris does it.
