 When I startup vim I have to hit 'i' three times to get it to go into
 insert mode.  I started troubleshooting my .vimrc file and figured out
 that as long as I have a .vimrc file, even if it's completely blank it
 exhibits this behavior.  I notice that there is a 'c' letter in the buffer
 upon startup but again there is nothing that is in the .vimrc file that is
 causing this to load.

 If I delete the .vimrc file and start the program, I can hit 'i' once and
 it will go into insert mode like it's supposed to.

 I have had this problem on 6.3 and just upgraded to 7.0 and it still is
 there. This is happening on two different FreeBSD machines.

 One machine is running:

 vim+ruby-7.1.242_5
 vim-lite-7.1.242

 Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Never seen this, but the only thing consistent throughout installations is 
the .viminfo file, so maybe delete that?

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.

It sounds like you are using the wrong terminal type.

Is this a console-based session of VIM?  Is it under X11?

What is your TERM value?
