Package: vim
Version: 2:8.0.0197-4+deb9u1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
I use console Vim at an rxvt-unicode console with the support of 256
colors. (I use the "Zenburn" colour theme with Vim, FWIW.)
That is, I have:
$ echo $TERM
rxvt-unicode-256color
I'm experience sporadic (but rare) crashes which basically come in two
flavours:
- One manifestation is that the output at the lower part of the window
becomes garbled when scrolling (upwards).
Pressin Ctrl-L fixes the problem.
When I start seeing this, this is a symptom of an imminent crash which
will happen withing minutes to a hour or two.
- Invoking Vim from a stopped background job using the "fg" command
of my shell (which is bash).
No matter what the apparent cause, the crash always looks like Vim
getting the SIGABRT signal:
Vim: Caught deadly signal ABRT
Vim: Finished.
Aborted.
In either case, I think this problem looks like some slow memory
corruption so the real trigger can be any action.
I have arranger for Vim to drop the core when crashing, and installed
the debug symbols package, so I have the output of the "bt" command in
a post-mortem GDB session, attached.
Please let me know if I can help more (it's okay for me to install
an instrumented version of Vim if needed.)
