Started 'vi /etc/hosts', got pid:
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
     4876    6016    4876       5232    0 13225 14:37:18
/usr/bin/vim-nox
-bash-3.2$ strace -o vi_trace -p 4876
[Did the :w to write a change]
Windows process 5232 attached
Windows process 5232 detached

Trace attached.
