Description

MacVim sometimes fails to read channels. I cannot provide any specific details of the problem, but similar problems never appear in Vim proper.

See lvht/phpcd.vim/issues/53 thread for more details.

Research direction

The issue names no MacVim files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading the lvht/phpcd.vim/issues/53 thread and comparing the reported channel behavior in MacVim with Vim proper; done requires a reproducible failure and a confirmed fix, but the issue does not define a narrower acceptance test.
