Sounds like you might have either an autocmd that
does this for you, or you have 'autochdir' set.

You can check this with

        :set autochdir?
        :autocmd

If it's the former, you may want to check where it was last set:

        :verbose set autochdir?


In Vim7, you can also use the "verbose" prefix with the ":autocmd"
command to determine which script defines the autocmd.

     :verbose autocmd
