Odd interaction between Gvim and Squeak

Here's a peice of wierd behaviour I noted. AFAIK it applies only to
Squeak on *nix. 

I evaluate some code in a workspace. Rather than type it out again so I
can write it up I highlight it, do alt+c, click to another window where
Gvim lies patiently waiting and use the middle mouse button to paste it. 

But the first character invariably gets lost! So, if I've copied:

myDictionary:= Dictionary new.
myDictionary at: 'Tunde' put: 27; at: 'Jill' put: 23; at: 'John' put:
49.

I get:

yDictionary:= Dictionary new.
myDictionary at: 'Tunde' put: 27; at: 'Jill' put: 23; at: 'John' put:
49.

Now, I only get this in Gvim (Netscape doesn't loose anything, for
example) and I only get it in Gvim when I'm copying and pasting from
Squeak. 

Any ideas?

Cheers

John
