There is a serious problem with the vim (vim-minimal and proably vim-
enhanced too) distributed in Fedora Core 8 (7.1.135). It core dumps
in new code relating to "free headers to keep the size right". It is
trying to free already freed or invalid memory.
It seems to be a pity that pointers are not always set to NULL when
memory is freed. That would certainly help to track and control this
sort of problem.
Here is the stack trace:

Pity this version wasn't properly tested before FC8 acquired it.
