left angle bracket highlight issue

[laoshaw]

I have to use < sometimes, i.e. x < y, or x <= y, it seems I can not do < to escape the weird highlighting:

vi /tmp/test.md
<normal.color now highlighted the rest of the line after first word, only first word is normal color
this line is highlighted
this line is also highlighted

now highlight stops due to the matching angle bracket otherwise it will highlight all the rest lines below!

basically, whenever I put a <, strange highlight occurs all the way, until I put a > to close that strangeness, what is that? how can I escape or is this just a bug?
