Don't know if this has been reported yet.
With the line

Hello,
I'm not getting a crash for some reason; although I do get odd behavior
with vim (as opposed to gvim). Why not use the attached patch? I'm sure
its not in the ideal location, but it enforces the max/min values for
lines and columns. Does it fix the crash you're having?
The odd behavior: the no-file banner is misplaced, and I can see a blue
on dark blue cursor rapidly flitting down on the left hand side, but
that eventually settles to the misplaced no-file banner (you know, "VIM
- Vi Improved,..."). I get this odd behavior even with the maximum lines
and columns (because I don't have such a huge screen, I presume), so its
hard for me to test the patch.
Regards,
Chip Campbell
That patch is for bufexplorer.vim, which I don't use.
At the bash prompt, the command
gvim -N -u NONE --cmd 'set lines=99999 columns=99999'
(which loads neither vimrc, gvimrc, nor plugins) is enough (on my
installation) to trigger the crash ("The program 'gvim' received an X
System error", etc.).
This error is displayed before gvim forks away from the console (the new
prompt appears after it, not before).
Best regards,
Tony.
