Package: vim Version: 1:7.1-138+1 Severity: normal
After starting a clean vim (vim -U NONE -u NONE), leave compatibility mode (:set nocp) and try to [Tab]-autocomplete a user's home directory when opening a file (:e ~x[Tab]). On the two systems I have tested it, this consistently results in: ....*** glibc detected *** vim: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x081ba488 *** <----- CUT NOT-SO-HELPFUL BACKTRACE -----> <----- CUT USELESS MEMORY MAP -----> Vim: Caught deadly signal ABRT Vim: Finished. Vim: Double signal, exiting Killed I have recompiled and reinstalled the vim .debs using "DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip,noopt" and unleashed valgrind on it, with the following results: ==24877== Invalid free() / delete / delete[] ==24877== at 0x402437F: free (vg_replace_malloc.c:233) ==24877== by 0x80A246A: ExpandOne (ex_getln.c:3550) ==24877== by 0x80A4225: nextwild (ex_getln.c:3254) ==24877== by 0x80A65ED: getcmdline (ex_getln.c:795) ==24877== by 0x809AF6E: do_cmdline (ex_docmd.c:995) ==24877== by 0x80FD43E: nv_colon (normal.c:5168) ==24877== by 0x80FFD4B: normal_cmd (normal.c:1141) ==24877== by 0x80C9182: main_loop (main.c:1181) ==24877== by 0x80CB782: main (main.c:940) ==24877== Address 0x44BAD88 is 0 bytes inside a block of size 5 free'd ==24877== at 0x402437F: free (vg_replace_malloc.c:233) ==24877== by 0x80A2490: ExpandOne (ex_getln.c:3422) ==24877== by 0x80E4D66: expand_env_esc (misc1.c:3697) ==24877== by 0x80E4E86: expand_env_save_opt (misc1.c:3533) ==24877== by 0x80E4F8B: gen_expand_wildcards (misc1.c:9157) ==24877== by 0x80E52EF: expand_wildcards (misc1.c:8424) ==24877== by 0x80A1963: ExpandFromContext (ex_getln.c:4329) ==24877== by 0x80A24B8: ExpandOne (ex_getln.c:3428) ==24877== by 0x80A4225: nextwild (ex_getln.c:3254) ==24877== by 0x80A65ED: getcmdline (ex_getln.c:795) ==24877== by 0x809AF6E: do_cmdline (ex_docmd.c:995) ==24877== by 0x80FD43E: nv_colon (normal.c:5168) At least 1:7.1-022+1, the version of the vim packages I have been using previously, did not have this bug. I'm guessing it's a regression caused by upstream patch 7.1.127. Not sure about the proper fix though. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-686 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages vim depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgpmg1 1.19.6-25 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libncurses5 5.6+20071013-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii vim-common 1:7.1-138+1 Vi IMproved - Common files ii vim-runtime 1:7.1-138+1 Vi IMproved - Runtime files vim recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
