That reminds me, I posted a Vim+ECL patch to add VIM:KILL to the
Changelog thread, but I haven't seen a post from you to confirm it is
now in the official tree.  Has it gone in?  I think that I terminate
the remote lisp upon disconnect, which is what Slime appears to do.

I haven't seen the "Not an editor command" bugs before.  I take it you
guys are using non-English language builds?  Could you please try to
build a standard English build and see if the problem persists?
Obviously not a solution though.

Cheers
