This is most likely completely unrelated.

The fix probably works simply because you are running vi(m) as a 
different user and consequently with a different configuration.

You can easily confirm this either by running vim as a different 
*regular* user, or just moving your ~/.vimrc and ~/.vim/ out of the way.
