#226 seg. fault in linemode when resizing terminal
I always use cscope with vim.
cscope is executed with following command. (checked with 'ps')
cscope -dl -f cscope.out
It always happens when I resize my terminal(putty).

I think that WINCH signal handling is the problem. No seg. fault occured after I moved following code, which sets WINCH signal handling, into the "if (linemode == NO) {" block in main.c.
----
#if defined(KEY_RESIZE) && !defined(__DJGPP__)
winch_action.sa_sigaction = sigwinch_handler;
sigemptyset(&winch_action.sa_mask);
winch_action.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;
sigaction(SIGWINCH,&winch_action,NULL);
#endif

I use cscope-15.6 / vim-7.1 / CentOS 4.5.

Its not so much a problem with WINCH signal handling. It appears to be a problem with your ncurses library. You cll the WINCH signal handler whenever you resize a window, and the handler calls ungetch to push a resize event onto the input stream, so that the cscope code will redraw itself in the new window. This stack pretty clarly shows that youre inside the ncurses library when the crash happens. My guess would be that your ncurses library has a bug somewhere in ungetch. What version is it? You might try seeing if an update is available from CentOS, or, barring that, looking at getting an updated package from Fedora (Or just rebuilding the latest source from Red Hat), if CentOS hasn't kept up with RHEL4 updates
hi there,
as a workaround you can "set cscopeprg=setsid\ cscope" in vim. then cscope is invoked in a new session and does not receive the SIGWINCH when the vim window is resized.
