Maybe it's a bit early to bug report this since app-vim/gentoo-syntax is not in portage, but i've tried the 20040820 version from Ciaran's overlay, and it triggered a bug in Cream. Basically, the "set filetype=..." in "ftdetect/gentoo.vim" produces several "E218: autocommand nesting too deep" errors when opening an ebuild file in Cream. I will attach a fix for cream-0.30. In case app-vim/gentoo-syntax reachs portage, then cream ebuild should probably be revision-bumped with that patch. I've also reported upstream, so in case cream-0.31 is released before gentoo-syntax, there will be probably no real need for such a bugfix revision on 0.30.

Which cream are you running? 0.30 or 0.30-r1?
0.30-r1
Aah, ok, now I get it. Running filetype on a filetype autocmd seems rather strange to me. Wouldn't they be better off using the after/ syntax stuff?
I just added gentoo-syntax to the tree, so looks like we need this. Fix in cream-0.30-r2, thanks very much.
