Bug: vim --help prints error message at the end of help

vim --help after patch 7.3.315 in gtk-enabled vim started to print the
following message at the end of help:

E852: The child process failed to start the GUI
(or "E233: cannot open display" if launched not in X11)
Press ENTER or type command to continue

And after pressing Enter, it doesn't quit but drops me into editor window.

Re: Bug: vim --help prints error message at the end of help

Proposed patch - setting gui.dofork to FALSE at the end of usage(),
where it says "Gnome gives extra messages for --help if we continue",
seems to solve this problem,

Do you mean this:

      if (gui.starting)

  	mch_msg("\n");
+ 	gui.dofork = FALSE;

      else
  #endif
  	mch_exit(0);
