One possible guess, but it's a guess only and I don't have high hopes
for it....


Is there possibly a /bin/vi which takes precedence over /usr/bin/vim?
(Or is the command "vim-enhanced"?)

If you do "which vim" it should show you the path of exactly which vim you are using... There is a history optin in vimrc, is it possible you set this to 0? I believe it sets the number of lines to keep in history.
