The controlling terminal disappeared, and vim is linked against
libpthread. It's a known problem that is caused by using both signals
and threads in the same process. Try watching the process with gdb
sometime. It sits in an infinite recursion/loop handling the signal
it gets when the controlling terminal vanishes. There's nothing wrong
with vim's code, except it uses signals and if you embed python or
something it uses threads. If you have a solution, please notify Bram
:-).
