vim-7.3.003-1 signal SEGV after writing to /etc/hosts against cygwin-1.7.8-1 on Windows Vista Home Premium Edition SP2


Greetings,

Upon upgrading to cygwin-1.7.8-1 from 1.7.7-1 whenever I write to /etc/hosts 
using vim-7.3.003-1 it immediately catches deadly signal SEGV even though the 
change(s) are successful:

$ vi /etc/hosts
Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV

Vim: Finished.
Segmentation fault

Yet when making any changes within /cygdrive/c/cygwin this behavior doesn't 
exist:

$ vi ~/test1
"test1" [New File] 1 line, 21 characters written

I also tested a write to /cygdrive/c/autoexec.bat which didn't invoke the signal 
SEGV:

$ vi /cygdrive/c/autoexec.bat
"/cygdrive/c/autoexec.bat" [dos format] 1 line, 74 characters written

This behavior didn't exist whatsoever when using cygwin-1.7.7-1.

The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium SP2.

Regards,
Auteria W. Winzer Jr.
