[erlang-questions] Vim freezes when I try to close a *.erl file

[Roger Lipscombe]

A data point:

I'm using vimerl with gvim 7.3, with Erlang R16B03-1, on Linux Mint
and OS X, and I don't recall seeing any problems caused by vimerl
hanging.

It's worth noting, however, that I'm using syntastic with syntaxerl,
rather than vimerl's syntax checker (although this would appear to be
unrelated to Magnus's comment about erlang_indent.erl).

My vimrc is on github: https://github.com/rlipscombe/vimrc,
specifically this bit:

" Using syntastic; disable vimerl's syntax checker:
let g:erlang_show_errors = 0
" For erlang (not escript) files, tell syntastic to use syntaxerl (which has
" to be in $PATH to work).
au BufEnter *.erl let b:syntastic_checkers=['syntaxerl']

But, as I say, this is syntax-checking, which might not be your problem...
