Hi all,

When I use ":sh" within gvim, I see this:

   :sh
   Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device).
   Thus no job control in this shell.
   ?<totally mangled prompt because it does not understand tty color
   codes> ?

At this point, I can enter commands, but the shell is broken. Backspace key only adds ^H. Letters typed overwrite each other. ls command should display with color coded output, but instead displays the color codes as text, etc.

If I run bash from within a tcsh terminal then start gvim, it fails identically. If I run vim (non graphical), it works, but the shell takes the whole terminal window even if I split it first.

I never see this error except w/in vim.
How can I fix this?

I am running ubuntu mav, and tcsh (6.17.00).

Thanks,
-d
