i'm in vim, i'm editing like a madman (nothing else explains it)
and i write out my changes

        :w<cr>

and then i do a make:

        :make<cr>

which displays

                        <== blank line, here>
        Unmatched `.
        all up-to-date
                        <== blank line, again>
        Hit ENTER or type command to continue

the Makefile contains

        default : $(STAMPFILES)
                @echo "all up-to-date"

so i can see when make is executing.  to figure out where the
"Unmatched `" comes from i tried "make" from the command line--

        $ make
        all up-to-date
        $ 

so it's not make, per se. what other suspect is there, besides a
vim macro? how (else) would i track this down?

i also tried

        vim -V team.sql
        [snippety snip]
        finished sourcing /usr/share/vim/vim61/plugin/rrhelper.vim
        Searching for "/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after/plugin/*.vim"
        Searching for "/home/will/.vim/after/plugin/*.vim"
        Reading viminfo file "/home/will/.viminfo" info
[here's where i get to edit, then i do :make and...]

        Calling shell to execute: "make  |& tee /tmp/v190198/0"
        Unmatched `.
        psql -d serensoft -f team.sql &> team.sql.out
        all up-to-date

        Hit ENTER or type command to continue

so -V didn't help much either. where's the unmatched backtick
gonna be found?

(i did recently change my tcsh "complete" pattern for make:

        % complete make
        'n/-f/f/' 'p@*@`perl -ne 'if (/^([^\s#.][-\w.%]+)\s*:/) {print "$1 "}' 
Makefile`@'

but surely that's unrelated...)
