Title:
  vim receives SEGV when entering visual mode

Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vim

  Whenever I press a button, which starts the visual mode in vim (like
  shift-v, ^V etc.), vim receives a segv and I have to kill the process.

  This does happen in terminals xterm and gnome-terminal. But on my
  framebuffer-tty and gvim this does not happen.

  I already tried reinstalling all installed vim~n-Packages using aptitude, but with no luck.
  $ COLUMNS=120 dpkg -l "vim*" 2>/dev/null | egrep "^i"
  ii  vim                      2:7.2.330-1ubuntu4       Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
  ii  vim-common               2:7.2.330-1ubuntu4       Vi IMproved - Common files
  ii  vim-doc                  2:7.2.330-1ubuntu4       Vi IMproved - HTML documentation
  ii  vim-gtk                  2:7.2.330-1ubuntu4       Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - with GTK2 GUI
  ii  vim-gui-common           2:7.2.330-1ubuntu4       Vi IMproved - Common GUI files
  ii  vim-runtime              2:7.2.330-1ubuntu4       Vi IMproved - Runtime files

  I have no sophisticated plugins etc. installed. This is new in
  maverick and did not occur in lucid.

  Please help, I need that visual mode (and no, I'm not going to switch
  to emacs ;-).

  Thanks in advance.
