I don't know - adding that definition to my .vilerc and editing the
files in /tmp, both came up as yamlmode.

probably.  If I don't see the problem, I build vile using --with-trace,
and study the Trace.out file.  (The normal "-D" command-line option shows
the result of the majormode tests, but not the details).

Also, looking at the ordering in

:show-majormodes

sometimes is useful.  I have this and don't see anything in the "c" mode
which would pick up these filenames:

        /tmp/DB.config.yaml
        /tmp/Querys.config.yaml

--- "c" majormode settings -----------------------------------------(24:113)----
Qualifier:
   qualifiers=any          

   mode-filename=^llib-[\w.]*$
   suffixes=\.\(\([CchisS]\)\|CC\|cc\|cpp\|cxx\|hxx\)$

Buffer:
   cindent                   shiftwidth=8              tabstop=8
   cindent-chars=:#{}()[]  

--- "yaml" majormode settings --------------------------------------(28:113)----
Qualifier:
   before=conf               preamble=^---             qualifiers=any

   suffixes=\.\(yaml\|yml\)$

Buffer:
   shiftwidth=2            notabinsert                 tabstop=2

   filtername=vile-conf-filt

:set-h yamlmode
