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, 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 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!
