when vim catches a SIGHUP, it starts eating as much cpu as it can get and 
remains this way indefinately, until you kill -9 it.

verified..., I'm guessing this is a vim bug though.

xor: you should consider posting bugs with a different email address.

Basically this comes down to a weakness in Vim using all the various
interpreters.  (The Vim author will tell you it's a weakness in Linux since it
works fine on BSD.)  I suspect if you build Vim with

    USE="-perl -python -ruby" emerge vim

then it will probably not exhibit the bug (though I haven't tried yet).  Since
lots of people use the embedded interpreters, I'm not going to change the
default for the build.
