Only to hazard a guess, but 'vim' assumes an interactive tty input (eg, 'sh -i'), ie, tied to a screen, but streaming a command might assume batch-mode. It *might* be divorcing the process associated with 'vim' from the tty, and leaving it zombied somehow after it's finished. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
