   Not realy fair;  it's more a 'feature' of RedHat's default install, 
as this turns on a load of stuff that's actually off by default in vim 
(highlight-search is one of them).

   There are a couple of other annoyances in there too 
(/usr/share/vim/vim6X/macros/vimrc).  Add the following to your ~/.vimrc:

set nohls

  (or type ':set nohls' from within vim, but that's not kept across 
sessions).  Or comment out the 'set hlsearch' in the above macros file.
