Try killing its parent and other ancestors, all the way up the the grandfather shell if you have to. A new login will appear, and you can start up again without rebooting the system. Unfortunately, the task will probably hang around until the system is rebooted, but it is harmless. After the editor (vi) crashes, a carriage return will not work to terminate an input line, and a line feed (LF) must be used instead. tset (LF) will usually fix up weird states of the terminal.
