Spacing between align and list environement

Question

How can I reduce the spacing between the align and the list environment?

\begin{align*}
       {_C}\vOm=( 0, 0, 0 )
\end{align*}             <=== THERE IS STILL SOME SPACING inbetween?
 \begin{question}
      \item  askjdhaskldhklasdh klashd klajsd lökjas ldökjaslökdj 
 \end{question}

I have following minimal example:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,fleqn]{scrreprt}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{amsmath,lipsum}

\parindent0.0ex
\topskip0pt
\partopsep0.0ex

\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.0}

\newcounter{questioncounter}
\newenvironment{question}{
  \begin{list}
  {({\itshape\alph{questioncounter}})}
  {\usecounter{questioncounter}
  \topsep=0pt
\partopsep=0pt
\parsep0.5ex \itemsep0.5ex  \leftmargin5ex \labelwidth5ex}}
  {\end{list}}



\begin{document}
\setlength{\abovedisplayskip}{0pt}
\setlength{\belowdisplayskip}{0pt}
\setlength{\abovedisplayshortskip}{0pt}
\setlength{\belowdisplayshortskip}{0pt}

This is just a normal text bla bla bla

\begin{align*}

\end{align*}
\begin{question}

Please always post complete small documents. The spacing between those environments is stretchy so depends on other items in the page,and the page size, neither of which you have shown Your setting of \topsep and \partopsep look distinctly odd, they allow the spacing to be negative so one item overlapping the previous. — David Carlisle, Dec 31 '12 at 11:07

You're missing a % in the definion of your list-environment, if you write

\newenvironment{question}{%    <-- note end-of-line %
...

things look better.

See e.g. Why the end-of-line % in macro definitions?
