Hi,
I recently faced with a freeze in vim while trying to count lines with the
following substitute command (I have omitted the range param for simplicity):
:s/\n//gn
The problem seems to be related with the 'g' flag, since the following command
without 'g' is working properly:
:s/\n//n
I have tested this in both Windows (7.0 & 7.1) and Linux (7.0, hasn't checked
7.1 yet) versions, and the freeze case can be produced in all of them.
I am including the latest Windows version that I have tested with:
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.1 (2007 May 12, compiled May 12 2007 14:19:39)
