What steps will reproduce the problem?
E.g. if you wand to launch the xdvi program from within vim, you use the
command:
:!xdvi &
(Any other program will also reproduce this error.)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected result:
xdvi should be executed and its gui should be visible on the screen. 
Actual result:
xdvi is launched and immediatly killed.
This can be verified by ommiting the final &. In This case xdvi is executed
and it responds to user input. But MacVim won't respond to user input until
xdvi is closed again.

What version of MacVim and OS X are you using?
MacVim: Version 7.2 stable 1.2 (33.3)
OS X: 10.5.7 (intel)
