I'm experiencing an annoying problem with vim on FBSD 8 that I don't have on
FBSD 7.  Whenever I start vim, if I press the down arrow as the first key,

keys work fine and even the down arrow works fine after the first press.

I've searched for help but haven't turned up anything relevant.  Any ideas
on what I can check?

Thanks,
