Thanks for looking into this Larry. You have to run vim several times in the same terminal for the fault to occur. I launch bash from a desktop shortcut, and it appears to be using the conhost process. My bash terminal is configured with white background and black text, and vim is configured with a light background. I've been using cygwin since it first came out, and I've always launched bash and vim this way, and never seen this problem before. In fact I have another Windows 7 computer with an older version of cygwin that works fine. So it seems that a bug has been introduced along the line. I'm wondering if it has something to to with the ongoing terminal issues I've seen discussed in the mailing list.
I would like to submit a detailed problem report. How is this done?

Sorry, I can't reproduce this from a bash started in cmd.exe or mintty.exe. Based on the Windows Event Viewer information above, it's actually the Windows console (conhost) that's crashing. Perhaps it would better for you if you ran it from mintty? If you want to submit a complete problem report that describes the steps to reproduce the problem, that may throw some light on the problem. With the exception of me running on Windows 8 and you Windows 7, I don't see a significant difference in configuration. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
