If Vim is reloaded after a crash there will usually be one or more ATTENTION (E325) messages. This is usually no problem for me as I save my work at regular intervals, which means that I can usually delete the swapfiles left standing after the crash (they will have "modified: no"). However (especially after a system crash and a reboot) sometimes the PID of the previous Vim has been reused, the ATTENTION message says "(still running)" and the "delete" option is not available, even though the program currently using that PID is not the Vim which created the swapfile (and then crashed, or was involved in a system crash). I'm not sure if (and how) it is possible to get over this problem. Maybe in the (still running) case the ATTENTION message could list the name of the program currently using that PID, and still offer the "delete" option (possibly with an "are you sure" confirmation) if that name isn't one of those (vim, gvim, view, etc.; even vi nowadays) usually associated with a Vim executable?
