Thank you so much for trying and quite probably succeeding at fixing this.
As far as how the folks at Fedora overcame the issue mentioned though I feel like I'm missing some context with regards to fully understanding it hopefully they'll be able to tell you soon enough. At around the time I reported this here I filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1262182 there and pointed them to this discussion. Hopefully when they see it your question will be answered. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
