    Mohun,

    Thanks for the suggestion. Hans-Bernhard found a vim patch
    that fixed the problem. I installed all vim6.2 patches that
    had anything to do with cscope, then rebuilt gvim. Just as
    a note, it took several tries. In the end, build
    errors were avoided by not running all 6.2 patches (just
    the ones related to cscope), as well as erasing the build
    directory and unpacking it anew. The patches were applied
    after running "configure" (with --enable-cscope, of course).
    I haven't run into the problem since (recall that the
    problem was that I was warped to the wrong occurance of
    the matching list for a cscope query).

    Fred
