Dirty hack for Macvim when it hangs trying to add new lines to files.
" DIRTY!
" For some reason, Macvim hangs when trying to insert a new line when editing
" mysql & javascript file.
"
" You can work around that by switching to another filetype that doesn't have
" the problem, then back again, hence these two hacks.

When I run dtruss on the process, I get this endlessly:

gettimeofday(0xC0093258, 0x0, 0x1000) = 1337337987 0
gettimeofday(0xC0093258, 0x0, 0x1000) = 1337337987 0
gettimeofday(0xC0093258, 0x0, 0x1000) = 1337337987 0
gettimeofday(0xC0093258, 0x0, 0x1000) = 1337337987 0
gettimeofday(0xC0093258, 0x0, 0x1000) = 1337337987 0
gettimeofday(0xC0093258, 0x0, 0x1000) = 1337337987 0
gettimeofday(0xC0093258, 0x0, 0x1000) = 1337337987 0
gettimeofday(0xC0093258, 0x0, 0x1000) = 1337337988 0
