Ok, I have default-major-mode set to vip-mode, and that works fine for many
files; i.e. when I visit a file called foo.bar, I'm in vip-mode. But when the
major mode is determined from auto-mode-alist, it throws me into a combination of
the chosen mode (e.g. c-mode if the file ends with .c) and *Emacs* mode; i.e. the
mode line says:

-----Emacs:	foo.c  ...

instead of 

-----Vi:	foo.c ...

It is possible to C-z and get into vip-mode, but that's annoying. How can I get 
around this.
