For some reason, when I use vim as 'root' I get sporadic messages "no |
| 2 |
protocol specified" that show up on the console, in such a way that I think |
| 3 |
it's going to /dev/console. It gets into the text I'm editing, but isn't |
| 4 |
really there because ^L clears it. |

Save for some abbreviations related to the account, there's no differrence |
| 7 |
between /root/.vimrc and the one in my home directory, but only root sees |
| 8 |
this behavior. Even strings(1) does not find that message in /usr/bin/vim. |
| 9 |
It happens twice to the console before vim takes over the window, and |
| 10 |
sporadically during editing. I haven't seen any pattern to what I'm doing |
| 11 |
when it happens. |

Anybody have a clue where it's coming from? |
