Whenever I vi /etc/hosts and write a change I get

Tho the change gets written ok. It seems to have started with 1.7.5. No

No such problem here. Can you create an strace, please?


Btw., your /etc/group file needs regenerating.

FWIW, I just updated (though vim didn't need it) via 'setup.exe' to get everything current and I can't reproduce this problem anymore.
