Bug 309851 – app-editors/vim 7.2.376 crashes immediately with 'abort trap' on invocation

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Robin Randhawa 2010-03-16 20:40:02 UTC]

A gentoo update in the last few days seems to have nixed vim. I see that Bug #293631 (referenced in the URL) seems to have had similar problems in the past so I'll try and use that bug report as a template in the hope that I convey enough pertinent information.

Some points to bear in mind:

1. Attempting to rebuild didn't help.
2. Attempting to rebuild with USE="-python" didn't help.
3. The update I allude to above did rebuild the compiler

The attachment that follows contains various logs etc.

Thanks.

Another bit of information : If I delete $HOME/.vimrc, then vim is able to launch without aborting. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the content of the file - I get the abort even with an empty .vimrc.

vim_src_prepare() was not being called again. I fixed this before and fixed it for this version too.
