RE: Cygwin: vim causes bash to die


Thanks for looking into this Larry.

You have to run vim several times in the same terminal for the fault to
occur.  I launch bash from a desktop shortcut, and it appears to be using
the conhost process.  My bash terminal is configured with white background
and black text, and vim is configured with a light background.  I've been
using cygwin since it first came out, and I've always launched bash and vim
this way, and never seen this problem before.  In fact I have another
Windows 7 computer with an older version of cygwin that works fine.  So it
seems that a bug has been introduced along the line.  I'm wondering if it
has something to to with the ongoing terminal issues I've seen discussed in
the mailing list.

I would like to submit a detailed problem report.  How is this done?

Thanks again,
John

Sorry, I can't reproduce this from a bash started in cmd.exe or mintty.exe.
Based on the Windows Event Viewer information above, it's actually the
Windows console (conhost) that's crashing.  Perhaps it would better for you
if you ran it from mintty?  If you want to submit a complete problem report
that describes the steps to reproduce the problem, that may throw some light
on the problem.  With the exception of me running on Windows 8 and you
Windows 7, I don't see a significant difference in configuration.
