[Vim-vms] Vim 6.3-86 + 7.0aa preview

[Zoltan Arpadffy]

David,

What version have you used earlier (that did not hang)?

... I was able to reproduce the problem even with 6.3-31 when I started vim
on in a directory that contains more than 300 files (about 250 *.com) with
command vim *.com

I could not reproduce the :e <tab> like problem.

It might be some buffer size related bug... needs more investigation.

Regards, 
Z

I'm running VMS 7.3-1/Alpha and just downloaded the
vim-63-exe-axp-term.zip distribution 6.3-86. Unpacked and tested. Vim on
VMS has been working great except for the following issue (all recent
versions I've tried)

  vim *.txt

causes the CPU to max and the command to hang.

  Vim:== disk:[dir]VIM.EXE -U /disk/dir/vimrc.

Also, if in VIM and I do:

  :e <tab>

I get ... and then VIM hangs.

If it matters, the volume status:

  Volume Status:  ODS-5, subject to mount verification, protected
subsystems
      enabled, file high-water marking, write-through caching enabled,
hard
      links enabled.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!
