See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes.
Since your error is 'permission denied', though, my first step would be
to check the ownership and permissions of MacVim.app and its contents.
And then maybe try 'repair permissions' in Disk Utility in case it's a
system file that has had permissionsed messed up by something.
This is not a file permission issue.
I was wondering whether, though, perhaps the server inherited its owner
from a file or something like that. IIRC, I've had strange IAC problems
in the past that were somehow inexplicably related to file permissions.
I'm not familiar with this mechanism, though, so it really was a wild
guess. It's something I'd try 'just in case', not really believing it
would help.
MacVim registers a named bootstrap server so that Vim processes can
connect to the GUI. The above error message is saying that the name
that MacVim is trying to register is already taken and so it fails.
This means two MacVim processes are trying to run at the same time
which is why I previously suspected that the OP had two versions of
MacVim.app on their computer.
Makes sense. It's a shame "permission denied" is such a broad message.
I don't know what would cause Mac OS X to try and start two instances
of the same app.
IIRC, it can be done with a bundle flag, but surely MacVim's bundle
doesn't have that flag set, nor does mvim call for any special kind of
treatment.
My best guess is that this is a timing-related issue since it is so
hard to reproduce (by which I mean that I have never been able to
reproduce it).
It's pretty unfathomable what could be so timing-critical, though, isn't
it? It's not like the two instances are starting at even roughly the
same time.
I wonder whether it's something in the OP's environment that's making
something work differently in the Terminal to the GUI. Does that sound
plausible at all? It would be interesting to know how the original
MacVim instance was started: whether via mvim from the same commandline
environment, or whether from the GUI, and whether it makes a difference
or not to the later behaviour.
