Vim-7.1.138 in Ubuntu-8.04 has a known severe bug which causes it to segfault (double free). It happens at least when doing completion on user names.
It's fixed upstream on Oct 30 2007 (more than 1 year ago) in this patch: 7.1.147 (after 7.1.127) freeing memory twice completing user name I assume you stumbled upon this bug. This bug is probably a duplicate with several other Vim bugs such as Bug #215374 and Bug #219546 (possibly others). My advice is to compile vim yourself. Latest version of vim is 7.2.26 and it fixes the double free bug and many other bugs. You can see all the bugs fixed since 7.1.138 there: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.1/README ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/README Any chance to get a newer vim in Ubuntu-8.04? -- vim.gnome crashed with SIGSEGV in free() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
