I installed the new 1.5.6-1 and rebooted. I then went to edit a file with
vim. I changed one line of code and went to save the file. This is what
happened:

- vi FA_lib.pm
'Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV
Vim: preserving files...

Basically I cannot use Vim to edit files - as it now stands.


Editing files works fine, AFAICT. Vim seems to be dying on exit.

I don't know if this will help with this problem, but I had the same issue under Windows XP Pro. The problem occurred with files on which SYSTEM was explicitly granted Full Control in the Windows security settings. When I removed that grant, I was able to edit and save the file correctly.
