I found the problem.  Now, what do I do about it?  The 
/usr/share/vim/vimrc file contains the following lines:

" Don't write backup file if vim is being called by "crontab -e"
au BufWrite /private/tmp/crontab.* set nowritebackup

It appears nowritebackup is not being set.  If I manually enter
:se nowritebackup
while editing a cron file, it seems to work okay.

This line seems to work correctly on 10.4.11 and 10.5.2 client and it 
used to work on 10.5.2 server, but now it isn't working.  Is it possible 
the system vimrc file is not being read?  How would I know? If not that, 
what else could it be?
