[nodejs] Spawning vim from CLI script

I'm trying to spawn a vim process from within a node.js CLI script.
It kinda works piping stdin, stdout and stderr between parent and child
processes, but there are some bugs:
1. I get a couple of warnings like this:
Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal
Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal
2. Backspace doesn't work as expected and just types '^?' instead.
3. vim window size is smaller than the actual terminal window.

Here's the code: https://gist.github.com/2180730

I saw a couple of solutions using 'process.binding("stdio")' or
using customFds, but they don't seem to work (or encouraged) with
node v0.6.14.

And suggestions/ideas are much appreciated!

customFds is your best bet. This should work:

node -e 'require("child_process").spawn("vim", [], {customFds:[0,1,2]})'
