alright, maybe my description was wrong. Try the commands `ay<C-V>`c and
`ad<C-V>`c and you should see that the character at mark c is not
included. The same is when doing it from mark c to mark a but the
character at mark d is included when yanking or deleting the last column
this way.

axxb
xxxx
xxxx
cxxd

The version information is as follows.

VIM - Vi IMproved 6.3, 2004 June 7, compiled Jun 17 2004 19:53:10
Included patches: 1-6

This also happens when started without initialization file.
When replying on this please send me a carbon copy.

Best regards

Jens
