Thanks! I'll likely refresh against the ~latest upstream once things in the time_t land settle down some, so this will get pulled in then.

Bug#1065978: Handle listxattr failures better (upstream patch 9.1.0162)
Package: vim Severity: wishlist Tags: patch I sent a fix to upstream vim to handle a bug where vim would attempt to allocate size_t max (for me, 0x aka 18446744073709551615 bytes) when the filesystem responded with an error on listxattr other than not supported. The upstream patch can be found at 14759ded57447345ba11c11a99fd84344797862c[1] - I've exported that patch for inclusion into sid. All things considered this is a fairly minor fix; so please don't go out of your way for me, but if you're making a routine upload, I've done my best to try to help prepare this patch for inclusion. I've attached a debdiff (with a mediocre changelog entry). I'm running a patched and rebuilt vim locally, this change fixes my error (E342: Out of memory! (allocating 18446744073709551615 bytes)) Thanks for all your work on vim! paultag [1]: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/14759ded57447345ba11c11a99fd84344797862c vim-listxattr.debdiff Description: Binary data
