I recently installed 7.0 and have noticed some undesirable behavior;
I'm expecting there's a config option that already exists and I'm
just missing it in the docs.

Suppose I run "vim *" and there happens to be some very large files
in the directory.  While vim is loading a big file into its buffer,
I'd like to be able to interrupt (^C) that file's load, and then :n
to the next file.  That's how it worked in 6.3.46, but with 7.0 a :n
tries to re-load the file that was interrupted.

It may sound odd, but I use this scenario a lot.  Often most of
the files in a directory might be .sql, but a few are large .lst,
binary .exp, etc. files which I don't want to waste my time on.
It's much faster just to "vim *" and :n rather than figure out the
shell pattern to exclude the undesirables.

I've a feeling it's got something to do with creating a "catch
/^Vim:Interrupt$/" handler, but I can't yet see how to write it.

Thanks in advance for any help.
