Yikes! With logging like that you'll have exhausted your disk space in a few minutes! They're not zombies, though. They're clearly still running. Just not properly... I have no idea what's causing it. Björn surely will have more idea than me. But I'm interested... What OS version are you running? Do you start Vims by using mvim from Terminal, or the New Window command in MacVim, or something else? You don't have Application Enhancer or the Logitech Control Centre by any chance? Any other similar hacks you have installed? > The frantic logging starts when I quit MacVim and ends a few seconds > later, when I type "pkill Vim" in a terminal--something I've taken on > doing every time I quit MacVim.
