Mageia9, x64

Tinkered with vim to start with, setting very large values on the history command, e.g:
:history 99999
without anything untoward happening.

Updated and set history to different values.  vim continued to work.
Used the command
$ vim bindoc* edoc*
to edit 6 files.

Using :next! advanced to the next file when no edit was performed.
The sequence 
:w
:next
Moved to the next file after an edit
and so on.

Working as expected.
