vim should complain if $SHELL is not set (and therefore "shell" in vim).
"!something" won't work without it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login as a normal user
2. "su" to root
3. Start screen
4. On my computer, $SHELL is now empty (have to fix that anyway)
5. Start vim

In 6.3.084-r1, thanks.

Comment 2 Nikolai Weibull 2005-09-24 05:46:42 UTC

This has been fixed in Vim 7.
