I recently decided to try out the Cream build (sans Cream) of Vim,
with all the new patches (from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43866&package_id=39721).
Now, I seem to be unable to edit my vimrc without bringing Vim to a
complete halt!
Sound like the age-old and infamous TCL with Cygwin problem:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/vim/message/78505
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/vim/message/78506 (solution)
Yep, that's it. I should have mentioned I am using cygwin, I guess.
Why does this bug appear on the patched version of Vim, but not the
unpatched v7.0?
Thanks for the pointer.
Another workaround is never to use from Cygwin bash a Vim binary for
native-Windows (and never use Vim-for-Cygwin except from within
Cygwin). If your Cygwin /bin and /usr/bin aren't in the non-Cygwin
PATH, then Vim-for-Windows will find TCL-for-Windows. Since they are
added in front at Cygwin bash startup, Vim-for-Cygwin will find
TCL-for-Cygwin first. (Vim-for-Windows will, for instance, be vim.exe
and gvim.exe from the directory C:\Program Files\Vim\vim70, which is
their $VIMRUNTIME. Vim-for-Cygwin will be, for instance,
/usr/bin/vim.exe with its $VIMRUNTIME at /usr/share/vim/vim70/.)
Vhy isn't it present in Bram's 7.0.000? Err... isn't the latter
compiled without TCL support? Then it never looks for a TCL dll.
Best regards,
Tony.
*facepalm*
Of course, that all makes sense. I just removed the c:\cygwin\bin
directory from my user path, and everything is back to normal. IMHO,
this is the better solution, allowing me to use TCL (one day) when I
want to, without interfering in an "artificial" way.
Thank you very much for the input.

Well, he thought, since neither Aristotelian Logic nor the disciplines
of Science seemed to offer much hope, it's time to go beyond them...
Drawing a few deep even breaths, he entered a mental state practiced
only by Masters of the Universal Way of Zen. In it his mind floated freely,
able to rummage at will among the bits and pieces of data he had absorbed,
undistracted by any outside disturbances. Logical structures no longer
inhibited him. Pre-conceptions, prejudices, ordinary human standards vanished.
All things, those previously trivial as well as those once thought important,
became absolutely equal by acquiring an absolute value, revealing relationships
not evident to ordinary vision. Like beads strung on a string of their own
meaning, each thing pointed to its own common ground of existence, shared by
all. Finally, each began to melt into each, staying itself while becoming
all others. And Mind no longer contemplated Problem, but became Problem,
destroying Subject-Object by becoming them.
Time passed, unheeded.
Eventually, there was a tentative stirring, then a decisive one, and
Nakamura arose, a smile on his face and the light of laughter in his eyes.
