The problem with an autocommand like this is that it can perform any Vim command. Callers of vim_chdir() are most likely not prepared for that and may use invalid pointers, causing Vim to crash. There is no generic way to solve this. It requires thinking of all the nasty things that the autocommand might do and checking that all of them are handled correctly in all places from where the autocommand can be triggered. That's tough. -- "Time flies like an arrow".
