It happened in the past with some versions of bash. However, I think the point is rather that if vim already knows that a dummy value of the SHELL variable wont work (the empty string is just an example, a string of spaces would be the same I suppose) then it should reject it and use a sane default. What do you think? > Anyway, this is already taken care of in Vim 7. I don't feel like > making a patch for Vim 6.4 for this. No need indeed. Does Vim 7 handle as I sketched above the SHELL value?
