Public bug reported: Vim crashes often with SIGSEGV on function eval_variable().
This is a known bug that affects versions before 9.1.1242 caused by wrong string len calculation. https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/16895 Which was patched in .1242: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/06774a271a7d728f188175340154361255d6b0a4 The crash could happen randomly after few minutes or an hour, so is a bit annoying. I know that Ubuntu has the policy to almost never update a package after it has been released, but maybe in this case it would be possible to at least cherry pick that specific patch and apply it, due to the severity of the bug.
