Hi,
Back in July, I sent bug-sipb the following bug report...

There was some investigation of it, but it didn't seem to ever get resolved.
I finally got around to looking at it again today and did some research. It
turns out this bug was reported to the vim developers, and the following
patch (from their website), which is tiny, fixes it. I've tested it by building
a patched vim as described in README.sipblocker and verified that it has the
desired result. As it's a really annoying bug for those whose preferences
exercise it, I'd like to beg that vim get rebuilt with the patch. In fact, I'd
be happy to do the work, but for the bits.
Thanks,
Mitch
