Thanks all for the replies.  I have a relatively fresh install of
Debian Testing.  I don't believe I have manually modified any
system-level configuration files.  All my settings are in ~/.gvimrc
and ~/.vimrc

Actually this is happening on two systems.  My debian testing system
at home and my work machine which is running RHEL 4.  I believe I
compiled vim/gvim from source at work, although here at home I'm using
the debian packaged one.
