Can this happen during the debug session also? Like, when you do >echo on lists? I am seeing that while debugging scripts that use Lists for sometime, Vim almost always crashes. Sometimes, I also start seeing internal errors related to List access (sorry, I didn't notedown the numbers) before it crashes. If there is a debug version of win32 GUI vim available somewhere for download, I can use it for my debug sessions to get any additional information the next time a crash happens. -- Thanks, Hari __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
