Well, after a lot of playing around (tracking down dependencies in
Ubuntu) I finally got everything I needed and built Vim + all patches
(resulting in 7.0.192 as of tonight) from source.  Still no luck,
though; it has exactly the same problems.

[As an interesting side note, I fetched and patched it with Aap, but
when I tried to build with Aap it would segfault when you tried to get
version info out of the resulting binary.  Doing the standard
`./configure && make && make install` rather than using Aap to build
fixed that problem.  Also, building with Aap didn't seem to allow
using MzScheme (got a pre-processor error about the collects/
directory not being found).]

Furthermore, it doesn't seem to be an encoding problem, at least not at
the level of the source file.  Both UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 have the same
problem.  It's probably some sort of environment problem, though,
seeing as there are now two confirmed cases of it working (not me).

Thanks for the ideas though.  It feels good to have a custom-built
version of Vim, and now with MzScheme support, too!  Still... it would
be nice to know why this is not working.
