Cygwin 1.5.25, vim 7.2-3: Command 'cw' misbehaves on a block of contiguous white-spaces

[Avijit Ghosh]

VIM seems to be behaving improperly executing the 'cw' command when the
cursor is positioned on a block of contiguous white-space characters.

It is changing *only* the character it is positioned on (instead of changing
up to the last white-space in the block).

Consider the following example text (please read using fixed-width font):

alpha       beta
     ^
     Cursor here

If I type 'cw<ESC>', I get:

alpha      beta

I expect, based on using Win32 native VIM 7.2, Cygwin VIM 6.x, and other
VIM/vi on Unix platforms -- and also on behavior or 'dw' or just 'w' on
*this* version of VIM:

alphabeta

That is, I expect 'cw' to be equivalent in general to 'dwi', and 'cw<ESC>'
to be equivalent to 'dw' --- this is not the case any more, it seems.
