Re: vim doesn't like the command line

Thanks for that link.  I'll see if I can produce anything helpful.  This 
is an odd one but it may be header related.  Someone (possibly me), should 
try building using the 2.6.8-r1 headers.  The odd thing here though is 
that vim is the only app that seems to be affected.  Got any others?

Thanks,
