Hi James,

thanks for the quick answer!

    # nvim -U NORC /etc/services
is broken,

    # nvim -u NORC /etc/services
works fine.


Hmmm..
I had a

    runtime ftplugin/man.vim

in ~/.config/nvim/init.vim, but up to and including 0.1.6-5 that never 
hurt. Commenting that line out makes 0.1.7 work too.

I bind "K" to ":Man"; guess that I got it from one of the various sites 
recommending that...
    https://www.google.at/search?q="runtime+ftplugin/man.vim"

So, the priority isn't that high (anymore) - but still, it's a regression, 
and might hurt a few people.


Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I know that I did test with 
"-U", but it seems that nvim doesn't have that anymore and just ignores it.
