Hi Dominique,
I have removed most of the junk and left the muscle of my script. The
script gets called by the CursorHold time-out. On my _vimrc i set ut=950,
so the script gets called about once per sec.
~ 40 HIGHLIGHT commands
time 60 calls per minute
time 60 minutes per hour
= around 144000 calls to HIGHLIGHT per hour.
I try running this with $ gvim -u NONE -S bug.vim and it seems to run
without errors. Sorry for the flickering, not sure why this is happening.
Have not tried running this for an hour yet.
I will let you know if I can make the 'bug' more reproducable(? spelling?)
Thanks a lot, guys!!
Pablo.
