You might want to also try DTrace on it. It can be quite enlightening. I've often used it for this kind of problem to see what files an app is reading. Sometimes it may be reading a file that looks odd to me (say a file that may have been the result of a previous unsuccessful install or upgrade) and I can clean that file up as part of the delete/reinstall. This has worked on a few apps in the past.

Starting with "-u NONE" should have excluded the possibility that something in your rc-files are interfering but lets try again just to be on the safe side. Rename your rc-files and .vim directory (e.g. "mv .vimrc my-vimrc", "mv .vim myvim", etc.) and delete your .viminfo file ("rm .viminfo") and clear your MacVim preferences ("defaults delete org.vim.MacVim"). Then restart MacVim and see what happens. Still crashing? Start "Activity Monitor", locate the crashed Vim process in the list (it is called "Vim", but there will be more than one if you have two or more windows open in MacVim), select it and click the "Sample Process" button. Copy/paste the text and maybe that will give me some clue as to why it is stuck. Also, as another sanity check try opening a help file manually by entering ":fin $VIMRUNTIME/doc/help.txt". Does that work? I must admit I am running out of ideas... :/ Ok, one more idea: open the advanced preferences and deselect "Launch Vim processes in a login shell". Quit, reopen MacVim and try ":help" again. Any difference? Björn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
