[vile] vile-9.7[stu] gets stuck "working..."

[Clem Taylor]

Hi,

I'm a long time vile user and I recently switched to a new desktop
machine and have been unable to build a working version of vile. I'm
using a x86_64 Fedora 11 system with gcc 4.4.1 and I built vile with:
./configure LEX=reflex --with-builtin-filters=all

During normal use (typically inserting text or deleting a line) vile
gets stuck in a "working..." "...working" loop. I saw mention of this
problem in the list archive, but didn't notice a resolution:

Here are a few stack traces:

I've tried building 9.7t, and 9.7s, 9.7 and 9.7u (today) with the same
failure. I also tried without builtin filters with the same results.
It seems to fail the same way without my .vilerc.

                               Any ideas?
