vim is beeping again. Did a patch get lost? cf. bug 14570.
To quote Alan on vi: "it has two modes. One that beeps and one that doesn't beep." :-]]]
Fixed in 0.18 (though I still can't reproduce it)
When you try to reproduce it, try it in a gnome-terminal. Hmm, xterm and rxvt don't do it any more, and I'm sure that last time at least one of them did.. perhaps it's a gnome-terminal bug after all.
