I found a small example which reliably crashes Terminal when running vim.

Repeatable crash in Terminal while typing in vim.   (Happens whether using 
macos-supplied vim, or a linux copy of vim run remotely via ssh.)

Repeat-by:

Make a Terminal window that’s not too wide, e.g. 120 columns.   (Doesn’t crash 
in a 150-column-wide terminal, but does crash with some variety of smaller 
widths.)

Run vim on the following plain ASCII text file (bracketed by ====’s, which 
should be removed i.e. they’re not part of the text file, which has exactly 5 
lines).  The file is also attached to this forum message:

Don't know how to make these movies:  -f 3

In vim, type:
   3jdfo
i.e., go down to the 4th line, then delete from start-of-line to the first “o”.
Terminal crashes reliably!  I'm running 10.12.3 also.
