The problem is that if you copy some indented code from somewhere and 
insert it, vim inserts the first line correctly with the indentation 
from the original, performs a linebreak, indents by itself according to 
the previous line and then inserts the next line with the original 
indentation. Now recursion sets in. Basically, the indentation grows 
with each and every line that's inserted.
