Well, that sounds like a bug.

Which version of Fedora are you on, and which version of vim are you
using? (Can you show us the output of "rpm -qf /usr/bin/vim")?

Please run "yum update vim" to make sure you're on the latest version.

Are you in a graphical terminal? What does "which vi" return?

It would be really helpful if you could isolate a testcase. If there's
nothing private in bdc.xml, and it's not too large, you could open a bug
at bugzilla.redhat.com. (Attach your testcase so the package owner can
isolate why vim won't open it).

You could also subscribe to the vim at vim.org mailing list at
http://www.vim.org/community.php and report the problem there.

Hope this helps,

James.
