Your build of GVIM.EXE exhibits the same problem on my system. It
reboots the system.
When I say "reboot", it's virtually like someone power-cycled my
system. I'm surprised that Windows doesn't blue screen (I guess I
shouldn't be).
Also, I guess I should have been clear before that I am using GVIM.
To try to reproduce this problem, execute DOS command "ATTRIB +R
filename", edit the file in GVIM, and attempt to overwrite the file by
issuing ":w!"
Can you try this: install the original Vim 7.0 on another machine,
copy the file gvim.exe to your PC, and try the operation again. I
guess it might not be related with the Vim patches.
At least I can confirm it never occurred to me on Windows XP. I tested
a minute ago.
Best regards,
Yongwei
