I have compiled vim-3.0 under 2.1-950928-SNAP with a few changes in the
Makefile but during editing I am getting the error message:

    Seek error in swap file write 

and the swap file is empty all the time.

has anybody seen that problem?
I seem to remember that I did not have any problem with vim under 2.0.5
