But then you can avoid the problem by doing it again? That doesn't give
any hint about why it happened the first time. Can you think of
anything that might matter?

Both. In the case of using your vimrc file, you can put a "finish"
command in various places and see what the effect is. Binary search
should work fastest. But start by putting it near the top to check that
it actually matters to be there at all.

For plugins you could rename them temporarily, e.g. by changing ".vim"
to ".skip".
