Vim running in subshell with limited features

When running VIM from a subshell (ksh Version AJM 93t+ 2010-02-02) I am
unable to use features like visual block or screen splitting.

However, if I run VIM from the login shell these features work fine.

What about running VIM in a subshell might cause these features to not work
properly?

Apologies if this question has previously been answered. My search didn't
turn anything up...

Thanks,

Joel
