I don't get *anything* like that!

When I do ':which-source .vilerc' I just see /home/chris/.vilerc
in the status line, and nothing else.

If I set VILE_STARTUP_PATH to /home/chris/bin then ':which-source
.vilerc' just produces .vilerc on the status line. ... or if I move to
another directory and run vile it gives /home/chris/.vilerc.  Setting
VILE_STARTUP_PATH doesn't seem to change anything.
