First post of 2008!Okay, it’s a little sad, but my first post of the year is going to be some random complaining. Today, I will complain about Vim 7.0.164 and Linux in general. I was using a lot of command | vim - on the console, and then I started getting sigpipe (my most dreaded of all signals) every time I ran the command. Turns out, vim was to blame in this case. Any time I tried to open a new instance of vim, it would segfault. I logged out and back in, and vim still segfaulted. I killed all but the essential processes, and vim still segfaulted. I tried as a different user, and vim still segfaulted. Now, at this point I was quite concerned. This shouldn’t happen in general, and it really shouldn’t happen under Linux. The next step was to do the unthinkable–reboot my machine. I’m actually worried that such a Windows-like solution fixed the problem. Or rather, fixed the symptom of a potentially larger problem. Ugh, it’s going to be one of those years. |
