Comment 3 Need Real Name 2002-03-19 12:18:45 UTC
You need to have vim-enhanced-6.0-7.13 installed and the try to edit a file
with vim in a window (xterm). Do not exit from vim but close the window with 
the close button on the right top side of the window. Open another Window 
and look at the CPU usage of the not terminated vim program it is nearly 100%, 
the machine in locked up. 
I discovered this after I have installed vim-enhanced and some users terminates
vim as described.

You can also reproduce this bug by simply sending the vim process a HUP; I had
this problem with 100% CPU usage on vim processes that had been attempted to be
killed by an idled process that was logging users out for excessive idle time.

Comment 5 preed 2002-05-07 13:08:54 UTC
Here's some more info: it looks like the SIGSEGV handler is ignoring the signal
somewhere... I started up vim (/usr/bin/vim, NOT /bin/vi, which is why you
probably didn't observe the bug earlier), attached an strace monitor to it, sent
it a HUP signal via kill on the command line, and got the following:

write(1, "\33[?25l\33[25;63H1,0-1\33[1;1H\33[?25h", 31) = 31
select(1, [0], NULL, [0], {4, 0})       = 0 (Timeout)
select(1, [0], NULL, [0], NULL)         = ? ERESTARTNOHAND (To be restarted)
--- SIGHUP (Hangup) ---
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
...

Hope this helps.

Comment 7 Need Real Name 2002-07-17 09:21:19 UTC
This happens if vim loses it's tty for whatever reason, I can reproduce this by
killing an ssh session, leaving vim sucking CPU.  I have the following rpms
installed:
vim-enhanced-6.1-2
vim-minimal-6.1-2

While vim is sucking CPU, LIDS spurts these messages:
SECURITY WARNING: SIG 11 sent to [vim:1306], UID(0), EUID(0), parent [init:1],
UID(0), EUID(0)

and an strace shows:
[john@dwight john]$ strace -p 3130
select(1, [0], NULL, [0], NULL)         = 1 (in [0])
(note:tty dropped here)
--- SIGHUP (Hangup) ---
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
and on, and on, and ariston....

Is this not a related bug to bug number 76822?

Also note the following references:

http://vimdoc.sf.net/cgi-bin/vimfaq2html3.pl#29.9
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vim/message/32547

Note that this definately does not happen on RH8.0
