Well after a complete reinstall the problem still happens, with a
fresh home directory and everything. My .vimrc has only the 2 commands
I mentioned in my first email and in case it helps here's the line I'm
starting xterm with:
xterm -bg black -fg white -ls -sb -sl 5000 -rightbar -geometry 100x55
-e /usr/bin/bash -l

Also here is a new vim.out of me opening my .vimrc (longer file). It
appears like the kind of gibberish I see in the ruler is at the end of
this file.
