No, it's definitely 6. 6.1.48 to be exact. I'm using Debian Potato,
which still comes w/ 5.something, and wasn't in a hurry to upgrade. But
then I wanted Vim on a Windows box, installed the latest binary, and
decided v.6 was pretty cool, so I compiled it from source on all three
of my Linux boxes. Maybe I didn't enable something that I need for
Japanese, since I didn't know I could.
