RE: 1.3.2: Vim cursor position incorrect in bash on Win 2k

["TWEDE,ROGER (HP-Boise,ex1)" <roger_twede at hp dot com>]

This problem appears to originate when NuTCracker is installed on the
system.
By uninstalling the NuTCracker Operating Environment the vi sessions and
cursor positions began to function normally.
