The whole session survives.
This pretty much guarantees that it's not (directly) a screen problem, then. Since both vim and the shell are brought down (the window wouldn't close unless the shell had exited), this may indicate a bug in the shell's piping code, maybe? The fact remains that this only happens within screen. What happens: (a) if you export TERM=screen while NOT running within screen, and attempt that command. (b) if you export TERM=(whatever's normal for your terminal outside screen) while running _inside_ screen, and attempt that command. ? - -- Micah J.
