I'm currently seeing some kind of race involving the termresponse
and some other event(s) that occur during startup. It think it has
to do with the slowness of the connection between the X server on my
desktop and the machine I work on in the back room. I don't think
many developers have this sort of setup so I figure it's up to me to
diagnose the problem. I just haven't had the time to do so.
If you are seeing another manifestation of this same problem, you
might try putting
set t_RV=
early in your ~/.vimrc and see if that helps.
Regards,
Gary
