Perhaps he can give you information how to find a patched vim. I am not sure if this is a bug in vim, bash or most likely windows. However the crashes occur when I use djgpp vim with djgpp bash. Say, I have a junk.bat file of 10 "vim -c q" lines. If I run it under command.com, it works, but "source junk.bat" in djgpp bash would freeze the system. If I used win32 console version of vim, it would work in both cases. I cannot provide any crash message, since the system gets completely frozen. Pavol
