I usually see that message when my terminal is not in the system's

SSH in to systems that don't know about that terminal, and therefore
can't figure out what the proper escape sequences are. I solve that
problem either by installing rxvt-unicode on the remote system (if I
have the required permissions), or with:

        export TERM=xterm

in bash, which tells it that I'm using xterm instead (rxvt-unicode is
xterm-compatible).

This is all heavily dependent on which terminal you're using, as well as
other factors, of course. But maybe it can point you in the right
direction.


The OP is using MacVim, I am using gvim, both of which run "on" no terminal but generate their own "dumb" (pseudo-)terminal when invoking the shell. That dumb terminal's stdout and stderr are displayed on gvim's (or, I suppose, MacVim's) command-line, at the bottom of the screen, just like the output of :echo etc.

Best regards,
Tony.
