Cygwin 1.5.25, vim 7.2-3: [Even more Info] 'cw' and white-space


Additional info:

Looking up 'help cw' tells me that the behavior I am seeing should 
happen if the 'w' flag is set in 'cpoptions'. However, I checked
my cpoptions (with 'set cpoptions?') -- and found that 
it is 'aABceFs' -- i.e. no 'w'. Problem still there. 

[Sorry I'm re-posting outside the thread as I don't know how to follow 
up on the mailing list when I'm not subscribed to it. Would be grateful 
if anyone can tell me how.]

Additional information on the problem below 
   -- I don't have any .vimrc, .gvimrc. .exrc or anything like that in my home directory. 
   -- I've also tried running 'vim -u NONE' -- and I face the same problem.

(I've seen a reply from Corinna Vinschen suggesting that there may be an 
issue with '.vimrc' -- so I cross checked.)
