	Hm.  there must be "something" in Muttrc.  I dont see it in my
	local ~/.muttrc; this "something" is controlling every /search
	term and highlighting it.  

	the regular vim /tmp/foofile.c /tmp/footext is fine.  it's only
	in mutt that highlights EVERY instance that I'm searching for.
	I'll figure it out eventually if you don't know offhand.  or
	anybody else.  

	maybe I should just find keith bostic's newvi; see if they have it 
	for linux; theyve got everything else... {grumble}

	thanks, polyt.
