Ops... Sorry! My bad.
Now that I read it more carefully, I noticed that Cygwin also suffers
from an apparently related error: When I try to open the file with vi
** for the first time **, I get the message below. After ignoring the
message, vi opens the file just right, and leaves this message on the
.viminfo file. Then, after that, every time I try to open it, it does
it normally.
The test works fine in cygwin though. I wonder if this is an issue of
the Java implementation. However, the error I'm getting on cygwin
points to a possible upstream change in bash defaults (I've looked
into some archives, but so far I couldn't find any changelog about
that). If this proves to be the case, we could expect more errors like
these to start appearing soon, as people update their systems. So it
really would be best to rename it.
Sorry again Thorsten!
Gustavo.
