You're quite welcome.  It's such a pleasure to use programs which
suddenly change their behaviour on upgrades and go unfixed for weeks.

So why doesn't setting the foldmethod work?  Typing :set foldmethod=marker
in the file works.  Why doesn't it work when I set it in /etc/vim/vimrc?  It
also doesn't work when I set it in ~/.vimrc.  Is it being overridden by
something else later?  If so, I can't find it.
