I have now switched to Debian GNU/Linux and my vim version is 7.1 If I do :!! some_executable the executable becomes a zombie after it terminates and remains a zombie until I exit vim. The new thing I noticed since my previous thread is that the problem appears only if shelltemp has the value 0 , if I give shelltemp the value 1 then there are no zombies. Can anyone else reproduce this ? As far as functionality goes I don't have any strong preference for the value of shelltemp (apart from the zombies thing). The vim help file on shelltemp says "The advantage of using a pipe is that nobody can read the temp file". Who might be able to read the temp file ? My shell command line gives umask 0077 so unless vim changes this , noone (apart from root) should be able to read any temp files anyway. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
