This is a problem in the way tmux works. It simply doesn't return and Vim waits forever ;( You can reproduce this behaviour, running tmux list-sessions > foobar This also doesn't return and tmux itself keeps on waiting for it's children. I have looked into the tmux code, but haven't found the issue yet. But anyway, you'll probably check the latest version from svn and see if this behaviour is fixed there or else report a bug. regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
