Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

In my case I accidentally used sudo vi /etc/ instead of the full path of the file
sudo vi /etc/asterisk/manager.conf. Vim opened normally, I just exited
straight away with :q, but the crash report only occurred a few hours
later.

History confirms timestamp:
41328* 2015-01-13 14:21 sudo vi /etc/

Vim crashed at roughly 17:01.

Original bug report #1410294.

[Bruce Pieterse (octoquad)]

On Ubuntu Gnome 15.04, running the original reporters command "vim –version |grep -o ‘+clientserver\|+signs’" causes vim to output "Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal" with the terminal window not accepting CTRL+C, but CTRL+Z suspends correctly. Seems like the child process might be preventing it:

[1] + 28277 suspended vim –version |
       28278 suspended grep --color=auto --exclude-dir={.bzr,.cvs,.git,.hg,.svn} -o

You have to kill the process or close the terminal, but it doesn't crash.

Additionally replacing ‘+clientserver\|+signs’ with '+clientserver\|+signs' works normally.
