Bug#369594: vim: Doesn't show -- INSERT -- when appending line

[Luke Moore]

Package: vim
Version: 1:7.0-017+4
Severity: normal

1. Edit a file that is too large to fit in a shell window.
2. Jump to the end of the file with shift-g
3. Press o to append a line.
For some reason, vim won't display '-- INSERT --' at the bottom, but
it's definitely in insert mode.  Move the cursor to a line in the middle
of the window and press o and it will display '-- INSERT --'.
