Hi all
I recently decided to try out the Cream build (sans Cream) of Vim, with
all the new patches (from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43866&package_id=39721).
Now, I seem to be unable to edit my vimrc without bringing Vim to a
complete halt! I am unable to break out of it, and the only way to
close Vim is by killing the process (leaving all my buffers' temp files
still lying around, etc. Not very graceful). I suspect the problem
lies with the Vim filetype syntax highlighting, since I do not get the
problem when I have syntax off, or syntax on while editing other
filetypes. When I reverted to the "official" Vim build for Windows
(compiled May 7 2006), the problem disappeared.
Is there anyone on this list that uses the Cream (sans Cream) build of
Vim, and can someone confirm/help solve the problem?

2. Are there any other files of the same names in the "ftplugin", "indent" and
"syntax" subfolders of any folders mentioned in your 'runtimepath' setting?
3. Do you have also vim.exe installed, or only gvim.exe? If you have both, try
running vim.exe in a Dos Box to view your _vimrc. Do you get the same hang?
4. If the above checks don't raise a warning signal, try the following (in a
Dos Box):
gvim
:scriptnames
" near the top, do you see your _vimrc?
" What is its path? Write it down.
:q
cd "C:\Program Files\vim\vim70"
gvim -u vimrc_example.vim -U NONE
:e C:/
" you should see the directory listing of C:\
" navigate (by clicking each directory in turn) to the
" directory containing your _vimrc.
" Then click the name of your _vimrc
" Does it open? Is it correctly highlighted?
Best regards,
Tony.
