You might want to check with TERM=xterm, or TERM=rxvt. Better still
install the mrxvt.terminfo file, and run with TERM=rxvt.
The first problem you describe (with Vim) is related to the terminal
response variable in Vim (t_Rv I think). It might be manifesting itself
on your system because of 64bit issues (or because of termcap / terminfo
settings).
You can check by doing the following:
bash$ cat
<esc>[>c
When you press enter, you should see something like
^[[>82;0.5.4;0c
in Mrxvt, and
^[[>0;229;0c
or the likes in xterm. If nothing else works, you can edit configure.ac,
and change the version (0.5.4, or 0.5.3) to "054" or "053". Then rerun
bootstrap.sh, reconfigure and recompile. See if the problem persists.
Also it would be worth wile to run Vim and do ":echo &t_RV". If you see
anything other than "^[[>c", the problem is with your termcap / terminfo
files.
The second problem is entirely a TERM issue. Get the termcap / terminfo
entries on your system correct, and you should be fine.
