Vim started crashing on me, particularly when I tried to open new lines.
I finally checked it out with rpm and a newly downloaded copy of vim's

I rebooted my machine (which has been super-solid for years) - and the
difference was gone.
So, what are the opinions - did I run into a hardware glich, or was
there a freaky issue with memory mapping?
Thoughts: how hot is your computer?
Are your memory DIMMS snug in their slots?
I'd crack open the case, vacume out the 'years' (?) of dust, check to be
sure everything is seated well. Oh, and make sure all of your fans are
working properly.
Oh, and run a memory check.
