Comment 1 Karsten Hopp 2003-07-24 12:34:37 UTC 
I cannot reproduce it here on a freshly installed Beta1 with random scrolling in 
the install.log file. Do you have a another reproducable way to make vi segfault?

> Do you have a another reproducable way to make vi segfault?

easy :
# echo $LANG
fr_FR.UTF-8  <== UTF-8 and not UTF8. vi also crash with UTF8.
# vi /var/log/messages 
Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV
Vim: Finished.
Erreur de segmentation

Instant segfault :-)

# env LANG=C vi /var/log/message
OK

I do this with RH9 and a "chroot /mnt/severn". I can do a test under severn in
one hour.

Have you a "alias vi=vim" ?
Comment 6 Féliciano Matias 2003-07-24 14:27:03 UTC 
Sorry i can reproduce under severn.
But this bug append in rescue mode (CD1 severn)!

I do a "rpm -V -a" and everything seems fine.
Comment 7 Karsten Hopp 2003-07-24 14:35:24 UTC 
I got the segfault now, too and will send a detailled bugreport to the vim maintainers in a few 
minutes.
Comment 8 Féliciano Matias 2003-07-24 14:48:05 UTC 
> i can reproduce under severn.

I can *NOT* reproduce under severn (i have a very poor english :-)).

in rescue mode, i do a "chroot /mnt/sysimage".
Comment 9 Peter van Egdom 2003-07-27 17:45:14 UTC 
I experience this bug too. As root, doing "vi /root/install.log" results in:
  
  Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV
  Vim: Finished.
  Segmentatie fout

100% reproducable with :
"vim-6.2.18-2" (Severn)
"vim-6.2.21-2" (Raw Hide)

I also experience it with a normal user account when editing in some text files.
Comment 10 Aleksey Nogin 2003-07-28 23:08:20 UTC 
I see this too, with ru_RU.UTF-8.
Comment 11 Karsten Hopp 2003-07-29 12:14:58 UTC 
vim-6.2.57 should fix this, please verify with the packages from 
http://people.redhat.com/karsten/
Comment 12 Peter van Egdom 2003-07-29 16:30:24 UTC 
For me, the described problems seem fixed with package vim-6.2.57-1.
Comment 13 Aleksey Nogin 2003-07-29 20:33:10 UTC 
Fixed my problems too.
Comment 14 Féliciano Matias 2003-07-30 17:47:32 UTC 
work to me.
Comment 15 Dave Habben 2003-10-22 14:56:31 UTC 
Can this be marked as RAWHIDE/CLOSED?

The current version in rawhide is:
$ rpm -q vim-minimal
vim-minimal-6.2.121-1
Comment 16 Karsten Hopp 2003-10-22 15:42:25 UTC 
yes, I think so. The latest reports indicate that this has been fixed.
