Description
Nice plugin!
I have these settings in my .vimrc courtesy of Gary Bernhardt's Destroy All Software screencast series.
set winwidth=84
" We have to have a winheight bigger than we want to set winminheight. But if
" we set winheight to be huge before winminheight, the winminheight set will
" fail.
set winheight=5
set winminheight=5
set winheight=999
When I go to load up a saved session I receive the following error:

I'm not sure what is setting winheight=1, but that isn't in my .vimrc. Is that something this plugin is setting? It doesn't seem like it matters much, the sessions load fine, but it's obviously an eye sore / slow to have it error out each time I load up a saved session.
Thanks for taking a look!
