Bug#491461: vim-gtk: gvim receives an immediate segmentation fault and does not start

[Hermann Schwarting]

Package: vim-gtk
Version: 1:7.1.314-3+b1
Severity: important

When starting 'vim.gtk -g -u NONE -U NONE' it receives an immediate
segmentation fault and does not start. No graphical window is shown.
Starting in a terminal without the -g option is no problem. This makes
the graphical version unusable for me.

Running in a debugger produces:

$ LANG=C gdb -q vim.gtk
(gdb) set args -g -u NONE -U NONE
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/vim.gtk -g -u NONE -U NONE
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
