Right now it's

execute "setlocal statusline=" . status

where `status` is the string returned by the function.

The function which is supposed to get the status line begins the string with the a:1, and then appends %= and the rest of the line to that. &l:stl, after I get the error, is the a:1 (message) passed to the function. Everything from that =% onward is being left out.

A good idea -- thanks. (It hasn't seemed to affect this situation though, sadly.)
