Hi Your version of Vim was compiled without debugging symbols so the stack is not very useful. My advice is to download the latest source of Vim and recompile it yourself. Many bugs have been fixed since your version 7.2.79 (latest version as of today is 7.2.302). Chances are your bug has already been fixed. But if you still observe a bug with a more recent version of Vim, then definitely report the bug again. You can build from latest version of Vim using the following commands: # Install Ubuntu packages to be able to compile Vim $ sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gnome vim-full # Checkout latest version of Vim from CVS. $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/vim checkout vim7 # Configure, compile & install Vim. $ cd vim7 $ ./configure --with-features=huge --enable-gui=gtk2 $ make install Cheers -- Dominique --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
