Bug 52327 – Vim-6.2-r8 and -r9 Segfault when quiting

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

[Description Philippe Trottier (RETIRED) 2004-05-29 03:25:27 UTC]

I tried to compile vim-6.2-r and -r9 using ebuild ... merge

the result produces a working vi/vim in every restpect except that :q :q! will terminate in a segfault. otherwize works beautifully.

$vi /etc/a 
Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV
Vim: Finished.
Segmentation fault

Tried compiling with gcc-3.3.3-r3 and 3.3.3_pre20040215
both the same result... my only gues is glibc or vim itself ...

actually this goes in the ppc64 bucket .. note the Hardware setting :-)

I've done a little bit of digging this evening.  looks like this is dieing in glibc land

._start()
._fini()
.__libc_csu_fini()

perhaps our somewhat crustly glibc is to blame?  hmmm!

Bug went away with glibc-2.3.3-pre20040529
no more segfault.

[Comment 4 Philippe Trottier (RETIRED) 2004-05-30 08:06:56 UTC]

Fixed thanks to glibc-20040529

[Comment 5 Tom Gall (RETIRED) 2004-05-31 10:37:02 UTC]

this DID NOT go away for me with glibc-20040529 :-/  course this is also with gcc 3.4 and binutils 2.15

Have you tried to recompile vim-core and vim ?

[Comment 7 Tom Gall (RETIRED) 2004-06-02 19:25:54 UTC]

-r9 with 3.4 is aok with this ... prior I was using -r8

I think our stategy is 2004.2 and 3.4 based...  what we have now is beta material after all....

[Comment 8 Tom Gall (RETIRED) 2004-06-02 19:26:22 UTC]

so upgraded to 3.4 .. eh?
