vim.gnome crashed with SIGSEGV in st_foreach()

[Daniel Hahler]

Binary package hint: vim

I was writing a script related to highlight coloring, when suddenly Vim crashed.

I cannot say what triggered it exactly, or what I was doing in the very moment when the crash happened.

According to the Debian changelog for 7.3.138 (unreleased) it is fixed in patch 88:

    + 7.3.088: Fix a sporadic crash when using Ruby bindings. (Closes:
      #614336)

Found desired vim here: https://launchpad.net/~blueyed/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=vim&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=

It WORKS!

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Glad you found it, Denis - this is from my PPA.

This seems to be checked-in for Debian. When can we expect to see the similar movement in Ubuntu?

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

This should be fixed for Oneiric (Ubuntu development version), which includes 7.3.154+hg~74503f6ee649-1.
