Hi.
I'm not aware of any solution regarding libvte9, but it seems that libvte9 is not the case here.
That strace file you've send me turned out interesting.
Basically:
1) You start mutt, pid 7703.
2) Mutt forks, and executes vim.basic, pid 7727.
Now we can rule out an X hypothesis, as vim.basic doesn't know anything about X.
3) Vim.basic, in turn, loads an impressive bunch of its' plugins, and finally:
7727 08:52:51.424329 stat64("/bin/sh: 1: ispell: not found\n", 0xbfbbbed0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
7727 08:52:51.424441 stat64("/usr/lib/ispell/", 0xbfbbbed0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
7727 08:52:51.441003 stat64("/usr/local/lib/ispell/", 0xbfbbbed0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Tries to locate ispell.
4) Failing that, it executes find (pid 7732), checking out something in the depths of /usr/local/lib:
7732 08:52:51.445337 execve("/bin/bash", ["/bin/bash", "-c", "(find /usr/local/lib -name \"*.ha"...], [/* 43 vars */]
5) Since then, vim waits - waitpid(7732, ...) - for find from 08:52:51 until 08:53:16 (time format is hh24:mm:ss).
So, something (one of vim plugins, probably), launches find at vim start, and that probably explains the whole mess you have.
I cannot point to the offending plugin, but you can easily disable them one by one, and see which makes the difference.
