Subject: 2.0.5R: vim-3.0 anyone?
Lines: 39
Hello folks.
I've mysterious errors on working with 'vim-3.0' (vi-clone). If I switch
to any of the "Insert-Modes", I get an error message like this
`Seek error in swap file read'
and if I write back the modified file, I get
`Seek error in swap file write'
but no errors in my edited files, so far. I've looked into the sources and
found following code pieces
if (lseek(mfp->mf_fd, offset, SEEK_SET) != offset)
{
EMSG("Seek error in swap file read");
return FAIL;
}
and
if (lseek(mfp->mf_fd, offset, SEEK_SET) != offset)
{
EMSG("Seek error in swap file write");
return FAIL;
}
Is there something wrong with 'lseek()' under 2.0.5R? On 1.1.5.1 and other
OS'es including Linux, ISC-UNIX, I didn't get these errors.
Any idea's?
Tschaui, Nora.
