hi,
 
seems the following patch 
 
Patch 6.4.002
Problem:    Unix: There is a small chance that the ownership of the
wrong file is changed.
Solution:   Use fchown() instead of chown() for the viminfo file and the
backup file.
Files:     src/ex_cmds.c, src/fileio.c 
 
... has a side effect on VMS environment.
 
On VMS for some reason function fdopen() returns 0 for a valid
filededescriptor.
 
I have made a patch that should be released soon - that will fix the
viminfo creation/writing problems.
 
Meanwhile you can delete  sys$login:*.viminf*.* files. they are anyway
useless.
Also TMP:VIM*.* files are unnecessary.
 
As soon I have new executables - it will be announced here.
 
Regards, 
Z
