Nope. Still works fine. I assume that, since you're telling people to define a function, vim suspends correctly when not used with a function? That's odd. It makes no sense at all that having bash, pdksh, or zsh go through an extra level of command translation would make vim unsuspendable. >Do you have any idea how to pinpoint the source of this problem further, >short of building zsh with a debugging malloc (which is something I >probably can't do before 2 or 3 weeks due to lack of time, which would >be much too late for cygwin 1.5.8)? How does malloc enter into it? I don't see anything pointing to malloc here. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
