I use samtools only to extract the associated SAM file from BAMs I get from FTDNA. I've been doing this for about three years and have had no problem until the last couple of files received over the last two days. When running ...

samtools view -F 4 $file.bam chrY > $file.sam

I get this error:

E27: Farsi cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time.

Any ideas? I've confirmed that I have the latest release.

Thanks, Michael

It's likely that samtools isn't installed correctly and you're actually running view, which is somehow triggering vim (that's a gvim error that you're seeing).
