1.289.1. RHBA-2011:0297: bug fix update

Updated vim packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Vim (Vi IMproved) is an updated and improved version of the vi editor.
This update fixes the following bug:
  • When editing a shell script (that is, "filetype=sh"), the presence of the "\c" escape sequence followed by a non-space character caused syntax highlighting to incorrectly report a syntax error. With this update, the relevant regular expression in the syntax file has been corrected, and syntax is now highlighted as expected. (BZ#629568)
All users of vim are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.
