Thanks for the ktrace pointer. That's what helped me fix the fifo problem. However, I was currently looking into a different test failure whose symptom is that ":set modified" doesn't actually do anything. Being able to step through the code would make that a bit easier, but I guess I can add printfs. Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/91BF BF4D 6956 BD5D F7B7 2D23 DFE6 91AE 331B A3DB
