Description Ashley Penney 2002-07-25 11:15:08 UTC
After building 1.2 from stage1, an emerge vi results in a segfault when the 
binary is run from the console.

By default, TERM=linux.  This causes a segfault.  If this is changed to ansi
or xterm, it stops segfaulting.

This is with vi-3.7-r1.  I have enabled the options:

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe"

The rest were set to the default.

Please have a look at Bug report #4599.

Been a week with no comment. Assuming it's fixed from bug 4599.
