If you're running Linux, this will show you the full command line used
to start Vim, from within Vim:
:exe '!tr "\0" " " </proc/' . getpid() . '/cmdline'
Talking about :args command?
a) env vars
b) command line arguments
c) environment ($VIMRUNTIME ~/.vim etc)
great: You can reproduce the problem easily. Thu you can debug it.
Now check echo $VIMRUNTIME and compare :!export > env-vars.txt
for both instances whether both differ.
And retry with empty/clean .vimrc and .vim (add a "finish" at the top)
Win7? Then you may have to find smething else than export
from: http://ss64.com/nt/set.html
The SET command invoked with a string (and no equal sign) will display a
wildcard list of all matching variables
is there any way to inspect all global vars in Vim? Their size would be
of interest (to out whether VimL is causing this).
