Yes, I'm still seeing this when /bin/sh is a soft link to /bin/dash. But
interestingly enough, when running "vim -u NORC -N", it works despite
this soft link.

When I deleted the following line in my .vimrc, the bug disapperad:
  set shell=csh          " shell to use

This line had no negative impact when /bin/sh is linked to /bin/bash,
but the link to /bin/dash leads to problems.

As it seems the bug only appears if one has a strange configuration file
(I don't even remember why I set this option), so it should probably be
closed.

Thanks for the hint, James!

Cheers,
  Michael
