Both '+' and '*' work as expected in vim-7.2.446 but not in vim-7.3.x.
Actually it's a bit more complicated than that: sometimes copying
into */+ does work but most of the time it doesn't (and there's no
apparent pattern), which makes me think this could be a bug in vim-7.3
Here's a testing sequence:
- run vim, type in a line of text, copy it with V"+y
- switch to firefox to check if 'Paste' is still grayed out
- go back to vim and try V"+y again
Sometimes it works on 4th attempt, sometimes on 6th, and sometimes
on 15th.

'clipboard' is set to 'autoselect,exclude:cons\|linux', which
seems reasonable, and 'guioptions' is meant for gvim only, isn't
it? Console vim is the one I'm having problems with, gvim is fine.
