Thanks for your helpful reply!

The apt command for pulling Vim's build dependencies is:

apt-get build-dep vim

Using a virtual system to avoid affecting my daily environment, I
downloaded the source for version 7.3.538 as described in the link you
provided. I then compiled, installed and ran the new Vim successfully.

Unfortunately, I still experienced the problem.

I'm working on a patch. I assume it is best to post that to vim-dev?

Thanks again!
