Kwan,

Exactly right. Thanks very much. I appended 'users' and 'loop' to
fstab.vim, and 'vi /etc/fstab' now appears as it should.

...
syn keyword fsOptionsGeneral async atime auto current defaults \
     dev exec force fstab noatime noauto noclusterr noclusterw \
     nodev noexec nosuid nosymfollow nouser owner ro rdonly rw \
     rq sw xx suid suiddir sync kudzu union update user \
     supermount users loop
                ^^^^^ ^^^^
...

I should bugzilla this. And also the fstab man page to include the
'loop' option for mounting ISO images.
