* gnu/packages/vim.scm (vim): Update to 8.0.1428.
[arguments]: Add ‘patch-failing-test’ phase.
---

Guix,

I guess (you may take that quite literally) there's something about our
build environment that makes mch_fopen("/dev/stdout") fail. Manually
running

  :call writefile(foo, "/dev/stdout")

properly gunks up my terminal, so I've just disabled the test. Fixed!

Submitted in case anyone has a better solution.

Kind regards,

T G-R
