Summary

0001586: vi generates a Segmentation Fault when pasting

Description

Accessing my busybox platform through Putty, and editing a text file with busybox's "vi" (Insertion mode activated) just pasting a quite big amount of plain text bytes (maybe 10KB) it drops with a Segmentation Fault. CPU consumption before the crash was really high too (maybe the auto-justification has some relation with it)...

Notes
(0002962) opalenzuela 11-25-07 23:20	It looks like some problems on "auto-justifying" function, and opening-closure control on "{". In my opinion, this functions are not necessary for an embedded platform, and some file editing functions (jump to line, search string, replace?) should be enough.

(0002963) vda 11-25-07 23:26	Can you give some reproducible way to trigger this? Also state busybox version and maybe attach your .config

(0003449) opalenzuela 01-14-08 07:55	I haven't tried with latest versions. This problem was detected on a 1.6.x . I'll confirm it as soon as possible. Thanks.
