Drat !

I wonder if it's something I've done to the machine like the
non-standard Vim installation (MacPorts) or perhaps one of the
preferences I've changed in Terminal.app.

I'll look into both of those later when I'm in front of the machine,
can any other OS X users claim similar experience to Graemes?
