vim error?

[Craig Van Tassle <craig () ambrosa dns04 com>]

I was playing about with my syslog and i noticed that after i exited one of my xterms (the one that i started vim from) 
the editor was 
still up and running with root access..  
the command i use was vim -g /etc/syslog.conf
could this be a problem or am i only going oh my god at a feature?
Could this be from vim's not handeling the removal of the controling terminal correctly?? 
I know that with emacs if i start it from a shell and then kill the shell all processses from it are killed.

Any one have any ideas?

Thanks
Craig
