Thanks all for the replies. I have a relatively fresh install of
Debian Testing. I don't believe I have manually modified any
system-level configuration files. All my settings are in ~/.gvimrc
and ~/.vimrc
Actually this is happening on two systems. My debian testing system
at home and my work machine which is running RHEL 4. I believe I
compiled vim/gvim from source at work, although here at home I'm using
the debian packaged one.

The setting in question here is: hls
You'll probably should include the following in your .vimrc (_vimrc),
too:
set nocp
if version >= 600
filetype plugin indent on
endif
* do you have a $HOME/.vimrc file? (wasn't clear from your response; I
wasn't referring to any manual modifications done to the new system
level configuration files, but was wondering if your previous vim work
depended on such manual modifications to the previous system level
configuration files)
* do you have (at least) the four lines mentioned above in your .vimrc
file? (you'll probably want syntax on , too)
* do you have set hls in your .vimrc file?
* if you do have such a file, is it owned/readable by you? (some folks
were having problems with $HOME/.viminfo files owned by root)
* what does vim --version show? (I'm wondering here if its one of
the minimal vim compiles)
