I'm in vim happily editing, saving as I go and then suddenly I get "E13 File exists (add ! to override)" and I have to :w! to save the file. Then I'll be able to save the file a few more times, and then I get the E13 again.
I have only two buffers open; noreadonly is set; there's nothing I can see in :set or :setlocal that would indicate I have to "overwrite" an existing file.
No recent .vimrc changes that would seem to make a difference.

Any thoughts on what else to look for? Google yields nothing relevant except the old (2010) complaint on 73b which was posted here. It's driving me nuts.
thanks
Thanks, Manfred... Didn't know about that -- I'll give that a try. The whole thing is strange because on my other machine which shares the .vimrc, everything is working fine. But I will check my recent changes again...
Cheers...jon
