OK, this is getting serious.
I have just discovered that the contents of my .viminfo has somehow been
clobbered by a .pine-debug file. It almost smells like it might be a leaky
pointer stomp. This may or may not be related to bug 126.

I have also just found that some of my log files are similarly corrputed
(nvidia-installer.log seems to have parts of the syslog message log in it!).

Do you have io-cache in your config?

No, I don't use any performance translators.

Can you attach the .viminfo and .pine-debug files to bug #163?

No, sorry, I deleted them as they weren't important and it was stopping vim from working. I presume you mean #126 - #163 is a different (but possibly related) bug. I have, however, attached the copies of the good and corrupted libraries to #126, which may be helpful if it is the same bug. The corrupted library looked like it had a part of a directory listing at the bottom (do diff of strings on them).
