I am on a Solaris 10 system using vim version 7.2.148.

I have my master vimrc file identified by the environment variable VIMINIT
and I also have a local .vimrc file in the current directory.  When I begin
editing a file in this directory, the custom commands in the local .vimrc
file are read.  However, if I edit the .vimrc file in another window and
then source the file from my editing session with:

        :source .vimrc

the changes are not read!  Now, I have been doing this for many years and it
always worked fine, so what is the problem now?  I tried specifying:

        :source ./.vimrc
        :source <full_directory_path>/.vimrc

and neither of these worked.  However, if I exit the editing session and
restart vim, then the changes are seen upon startup!

It appears as though the source command is not working.  Is this a bug in
this version of vim?  Is there a new "feature" that I need to properly set
that might be denying source from working?  Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Regards,
