The syntax seems fine...

For this to work, vim's "modeline" option needs to be on (see :h auto-setting
in vim). Try ":set all" to see what is your setting of "modeline" (and
"modelines") and whether it differs between your Windows and Linux installation.

On my Fedora 14, for example, I see "modeline" and "modelines=5", so it should
work, and look into the first and last 5 lines of the opened file for the
magic option-setting line.
