tags 271338 + patch pending thanks I finally discovered the source of the bug you reported. Since you use ipython as your shell, your environment variable SHELL is set to /usr/bin/ipython.
Vim inherits that setting and when it invokes system("/bin/cat
/etc/papersize") it does it using ipython as shell. Unfortunately for a
shell command to be valid for ipython it must be prepended with "!".
The attached patch for /etc/vim/vimrc solves the problem not using
system() at all to read /etc/papersize. It is applied in the pkg-vim svn
and will be part of the next vim upload.
Cheers.
