[vimshell] Vimshell almost works for me under vim -g :)

[alessandro salvatori]

Actually i tried again and I realized that it's working fine for me,
if i don't source my bashrc from my profile, so nothing to do with the
binary itself.

Are there plans to get vimshell into vim source? it would be a damn
good thing to happen. Have you tried talking with Bram Moolenaar?
