I've encountered a problem using gvim 7.3.138 on a Windows XP system
because of the way that Vim expands "plugin/**/*.vim" when it loads
plugins. Specifically, Vim includes RCS file names that end with
.vim,v in that expansion.
>From a command prompt I executed
gvim -V5verbose2.txt
to capture the error. Here is the relevant portion of verbose2.txt,
beginning with the expansion of "plugin/**/*.vim" in 'rtp' and
ending with the first error from attempting to source
plugin/RCS/ctags.vim,v.
...
finished sourcing $HOME\_vimrc
Searching for "plugin/**/*.vim" in "G:\vimfiles,C:\Program
Files\Vim/vimfiles,C:\Program Files\Vim\vim73,C:\Program
Files\Vim/vimfiles/after,G:\vimfiles/after"

Error detected while processing G:\vimfiles\plugin\RCS\ctags.vim,v:
line 1:

...
The error can also be observed by cd'ing to an RCS directory
containing one or more files ending in ".vim,v" and executing from
within Vim
:args *.vim
Vim will put all the *.vim,v files in the argument list and open the
first one.
This error does not occur on Unix systems, including HP-UX, Solaris
and Linux.
The gvim for Windows I was using was the latest without-Cream
version available from the Cream web site, 7.3.138.

Gary
