[Vim-vms] VFC files truncated

Hello,

this topic may have been discussed before, the following discussions are 
the closest I've found:

http://www.polarhome.com/pipermail/vim-vms/2004q3/000074.html
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-vms/2004-July/001133.html (a 
slightly different context)

My problem is with viewing VFC files with vim on VMS (Alpha). When I 
open a file with this organisation, the file is truncated at a seemingly 
arbitrary position. There is nothing special there, no EOL, no special 
character. With native VMS editors the file is displayed correctly 
(completely).

I can provide a sample file upon request.

Thanks very much for your help.

Sam
