This was caused by a couple of faulty syntax definitions in the
packages/url file which gets sourced once when you insert the
\usepackage{url} in the preamble using the <F5> command.  For now, I
just commented out the syntax commands. The latest dev version on the
web-site should have this fix.

 In the long term, it would be nice to include them without the
bugginess. A general question to those who are good with syntax stuff:

How does one go about putting :syn commands in a file (which gets
sourced only once) so that the commands are invoked whenever the
syntax is loaded. I was thinking there might be some nice autocommand
which we can catch, but I have had no luck so far.

Thanks,
Srinath
