Nothing that seems to point to space indent:


   background=dark     hlsearch            ruler               smartcase           ttyfast             wildmenu
   helplang=C.         ignorecase          scroll=36           smartindent         ttymouse=xterm2   nowrap
   hidden              modified            showcmd           nostartofline         wildcharm=^Z

I'll check with a vim specific group.  Thanks!
