"iabbrev" erratic behaviour

Hi,

I have this is in my .vimrc:

iabbrev mdate <C-R>=strftime("%a %d/%m/%Y")


It used to work fine, but as of recently (3 or 4 weeks or so), this
abbreviation only works if it is the first thing that I input on any
file. If I edit a file, type some characters and then I type "mdate",
it doesn't get expanded. I have to save and exit the file, then
re-open it and then type "mdate".

Is there a way to troubleshoot that?
