Basic syntax highlighting fail

Hi,

I'm using Vim 7.2.445 on Debian, with no .vimrc or .gvimrc.

I write a file to the /tmp path, called x.c

call("look

call_something();

I load up that file in gvim

vim /tmp/x.c

Turn on syntax

:syntax on

Split the buffer

:sp

And put a quote at the end of the first line, so it looks like call("look"

A"

The top buffer is correctly coloured, the bottom buffer is not.

Why?  How can I fix it?

It is a source of a lot of syntax colour problems for me.

thanks,
Paul
