I spoke too quickly in my last email. Looking at vim.tiny on my machine,
this is caused by the configuration of vim-tiny being bad. Vim-tiny
doesn't appear to have any global configuration file. Adding one and
adding set nocompatible should fix the issue even with vim-tiny.

Could this be done in the package? It would only add a few bytes, would
it not?
