  the problem is, in order to make syntax hilighting work, you MUST have
filetype plugin on

  this is default in the pristine /etc/vim/{g,}vimrc files, and thus
this cannot be a vim 6.3.x bug, but a bug of *your* .vimrc



  So if the problem is the result of a modification of /etc/vim/* files
of your own, or a bad setting in your .vimrc, then please close the bug
and fix your files.

  If you show no response, then I'll consider closing the bug.
