Package: vim
Version: 1:6.4-001+2
Severity: normal
VIM loops forever in "readlink", according to strace, when running this script:
#!/bin/sh
cd /tmp
mkdir -p vim-bug/vim-bug/subdir
mkdir -p vim-bug/subdir
echo 'this is a file' > vim-bug/vim-bug/subdir/testfile
cd vim-bug/subdir
ln -s ../vim-bug/subdir/testfile
cd ..
echo "Pwd is:"
pwd
echo "subdir/testfile is:"
ls -l subdir/testfile
echo "Launching vim on subdir/testfile in 5 seconds"
sleep 5
vim -u NONE -U NONE subdir/testfile
I actually found this bug when I tried to open /boot/grub/menu.lst,
which is a symlink to /boot/boot/grub/menu.lst on my system.
The problem seem to only occur when both the parent directory and
the parent's parent directory has the same name.
Output from attaching strace:
readlink("../vim-bug/subdir/testfile", "../vim-bug/subdir/testfile", 4096) = 26
readlink("../vim-bug/subdir/testfile", "../vim-bug/subdir/testfile", 4096) = 26
readlink("../vim-bug/subdir/testfile", "../vim-bug/subdir/testfile", 4096) = 26

readlink("../vim-bug/subdir/testfile", "../vim-bug/subdir/testfile", 4096) = 26
....
