Too bad GitHib doesn't have notification for mentions in Gist comments. I didn't know there're answers here till today.

@karlingen yes I'm using zsh

@justinatcamfil That's probably the reason. I ended up leave it alone as I rarely destroy the box. When I don't need it I just need to vagrant suspend and it's all good. Memory released.

Finally Vagrant 1.6 has this fixed with a "stable" hack to visudo:

Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_ADD = /usr/bin/tee -a /etc/exports
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD = /sbin/nfsd restart
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_REMOVE = /usr/bin/sed -E -e /*/ d -ibak /etc/exports
%admin ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: VAGRANT_EXPORTS_ADD, VAGRANT_NFSD, VAGRANT_EXPORTS_REMOVE
