Steps:

-Eclipse 3.3.2

1. Open a php file with vim. opens fine
2. Open second php file. Stalls with new tab but vim never opens.
3. Click on original tab. Both tabs crash.

Expected:
Each tab works independently.

    This may be related to a file type configuration issue. If Eclipse isn't set up to open files using "Vim (new process)", then the blank-tab behavior can occur. See this tip for setup info: http://www.vimplugin.org/tips

    When Eclipse is NOT set up to use "Vim (new process)", if you right-click, go to Open With -> Vim, and another Vim tab is already open, then the file is opened as a buffer within the existing Vim tab, and a new blank tab is also opened. The opening of the blank-tab is the crux of this bug, in my opinion.

    Try changing the port here: Window->Preferences-Vimplugin->Port

    I was having the identical problems but this fixed it immediately.
