Hi, Bram,
It came up in a private conversation I had that this line in get_varp() is
useless:
default: EMSG(_("E356: get_varp ERROR"));
The reason is that the first time it is called, it is because set_options_default
is running at initialisation time, and since this happens in alphabetical order,
almost every option is initialised before 'verbosefile' is.
But EMSG eventually checks 'verbosefile' (p_vfile) to write to it, and in so
doing, it segfaults (in redir_write).
The patch below fixes it. Don't know if it's worth the bother, though.
Ben.
