Hi, there is a problem with MacVim when using zsh as default shell. The problem occurs in VCSCommand plugin, when it spawns git process trying to detect vcs-related info. These processes just hang, and wait. I described it at [1]. Bjorn pointed me to the implementation of macosx_fork in os_macosx.m, as the most likely culprit. After some looking, I decided to implement double-fork trick, to completely detach Vim from the terminal, which did the trick. However, I still don't know what is the actual reason for sub-processes hanging.
My question is: what are the requirements for the fork()-ed instance of Vim? Should it have access to the controlling terminal, or not? I'm trying to understand if there are any problems with using double-fork with vim.
