patch 8.0.0702: an error in a timer can make Vim unusable commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/c577d813b7978345dec4310b2d8f5d5624a681f6 Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Sat Jul 8 22:37:34 2017 +0200 patch 8.0.0702: an error in a timer can make Vim unusable Problem: An error in a timer can make Vim unusable. Solution: Don't set the error flag or exception from a timer. Stop a timer if it causes an error 3 out of 3 times. Discard an exception caused inside a timer.

Test whether glob()/globpath() return correct results with certain escaped
characters.
