title: Plugin (vim-latex) crashing gVim on startup
body: <p>I'm trying to use <a href="http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/index.php?subject=download&amp;title=Download#advanced" rel="noreferrer">vim-latex</a> with gVim on Windows XP, but as soon as I open a .tex file (or as soon as I <code>set ft=tex</code>) gVim crashes with no error messages visible. The crash doesn't occur in console vim. </p>
  
  <p>I've followed the setup instructions to a T (as far as I can tell), and I've tried disabling all other plugins and stripping my .vimrc as well. </p>
  
  <p>I tried running <code>gvim -V9log.txt file.tex</code>, but the output didn't help me, I'll include it here in case you can get anything useful from it.</p>

  <p>Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide you with.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT :</strong> Here is a normal/successful <a href="https://gist.github.com/1141181" rel="noreferrer">startup log</a> using -V9 as well (linked to avoid making this needlessly long). It also has some odd looking lines like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Searching for "C:\Program Files\Vim/vimfiles\filetype.vim"
  Searching for "C:\Program Files\Vim\vim73\filetype.vim"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So it's probably not the mixed slashes that are causing problems.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT2 :</strong> If you know other approaches to debugging vim plugin problems I would love to hear those as well!</p>
