Well, I did more than once, but I can't garantee the upgrading had
something to do with it. Maybe too much time passed before revisiting
the same file...
Number of files for which ~/.viminfo remembers positions is '
flag of 'viminfo' option. My value for this is 20 (:set viminfo?).
Looks like this 20 is too low for you. Just increase it sharply in your
~/.vimrc; if you want 500 instead of 20, set it to 500. For me,
meager 20 is enough.
This is probably what's causing you problems, *not* the vim
updates. There is no way that vim update would overwrite the
~/.viminfo file.
