A while back, there was discussion on the list about how certain 
snapshots of MacVim would kill or not kill shelled background commands 
at certain desirable and undesirable times.

I just noticed the option

        guipty

which is set "on" by default and only applies to the GUI. When on, it 
attempts to open a pseudo-tty for I/O to/form shell commands. (see :help 
guipty and :help gui-pty for more information)

I don't remember this option being discussed in those previous threads. 
Is it relevant?

Just thought I'd bring it up. Note that a colleague of mine had similar 
problems on his Linux Vim setup. We solved his problem with gratuitous 
use of "setsid" (which also worked on MacOS, but you had to build your 
own copy of setsid).
