[vile] Odd problem with setting colour resource

[chrisisbd]

In my .vilerc file I have the line:-

    set bcolor=default

This works fine nearly every time I start vile but for one case.  When
I start vile from inside Firefox (using the mozex extension) I get an
error:-

    [No match for 'default']

from vile.

It makes no difference what I change 'default' to vile refuses to find
it.  What sort of environment change can cause vile to do this?  I
assume it must be something in its environment that causes this
problem.

As a workaround is there some way I can set bcolor to a numeric value?
