[Vim-vms] Vim: Caught deadly signal BUS

[Groen Norbert]

Hi,

I installed vim on vms, but I get a dump when I try ":help":
Vim: Caught deadly signal BUS                                                                                            
Vim: Finished.

In order to find where it goes wrong, I compiled a debug version myself and look for yourself:

DBG> g

HMM...

I searched where it went wrong and noticed that it was this call:

cnt = decc$to_vms(decc$translate_vms(vms_fixfilename(path)), vms_wproc, 1, 0);

 vms_fixfilename(path) returns 

DBG> exa /asciz *buf
*OS_VMS\vms_fixfilename\buf:    "sys$login:[.vimfiles.doc]tags-??"

I don't know why it looks over there?
