I recently upgraded vim and now I wish I hadn't... Execution with ! no longer works. For example, ":! ls -l" returns nothing, and ":r! ls -l" returns something like Can't read file /tmp/v687519/0 Any ideas before I spend half the day reading code? It looks like the older Vim used a single file for handling output of these commands, while the newer Vim creates a directory in /tmp and expects to find a file in there called 0. So i tried creating a file called 0, and it then complains about 1. So I create 2, since the thing seems to be advancing, and I get no output, although the file named 2 has disappeared. Obviously, there's a problem both with creating the file and reading the output, though not with cleaning it up! I took a look at vim --version and didn't notice anything interesting, but I could provide it if needed.... Please cc me in reply; not subscribed to -ports.
