Package: vim
Version: 1:6.4-007+1
On a sufficiently slow machine, vim accumulates signals, which is
tedious to have to deal with. Example:
I run some command which accesses the disk alot, causing vim in
another xterm to become unresponsive for a couple seconds. During
that period, I manage to give that xterm the focus, and attempt to
background vim and continue work in the shell. So I hold down ^Z to
background vim. When it finally backgrounds (around about the time
the expensive command completes), it is "difficult" to foreground;
entering fg 5 or whatever will bring up a flash of vim, and then it
will apparently remember one of the pending sigstops, and immediately
suspend itself. One has to enter the "fg" command potentially a large
number of times before vim is actually usable.
It isn't clear to me that this a actually a bug in vim, and not in
bash or the kernel or something else; but the useful behaviour here
would be for vim to "collapse" multiple pending SIGSTOPs into a single
one...but vim isn't sending itself the SIGSTOP, then, is it...and
SIGSTOP can't be ignored, right? So does this need to be reassigned
somewhere?

I experienced this with mutt, so this is not a vim problem. I'm
closing it until I understand it better, at least well enough to point
fingers in the right direction.
