Vim gives error message since 8.2.3755-1

[John Ruckstuhl]

There was a bug upstream and it has been fixed upstream.
I'm confident that eventually it will get to us.
Meanwhile, I found that if you simply create an empty ~/.exrc, the bug is
avoided.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1969936
