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

[Avijit Ghosh]

[Sorry I'm re-posting outside the thread as I don't know how to follow up on the mailing list when I'm not subscribed to it. Would be grateful if anyone can tell me how.]

Additional information on the problem below 
   -- I don't have any .vimrc, .gvimrc. .exrc or anything like that in my home directory. 
   -- I've also tried running 'vim -u NONE' -- and I face the same problem.

(I've seen a reply from Corinna Vinschen suggesting that there may be an issue with '.vimrc' -- so I cross checked.)
