I was using 8.2.480 but I had been having the problem for a while, just
hadn't been editing perl files so didn't worry about it.  Uninstalled
8.2.480 and installed 8.2 and that is what is in the post.  Uninstalled
8.2 and installed 8.2.577(64) and it is unusable from a terminal for a
bunch of reasons.  gvim seems to be fine.  Uninstalled 8.2.577 and
reinstalled 8.2.480 and now I don't have the problem any more.

I thought I had cleaned out all the left over files when I uninstalled
8.2.480 originally but maybe there was something I didn't get or maybe
the later uninstallers are more thorough.

I'll deal with the 8.2.577 issues later.

Will do.

Thanks Tony.  I hope I didn't put you on to a wild goose chase.
