neovim segfault / erratic

[zelhar]

Greetings

It seems that since the last version of neovim for termux it stopped working on my Nexus 9 LTE. About 1 in 7 times it might actually start normally, the rest of the time it either segfaults or prints a scroll of error messages on the screen and finally starts without properly loading init.vim (and what not else?).

Can you post some of these error messages?

[zelhar]

Yes of course:

Hm, I don't really know how to debug that (I can't reproduce the problem myself)...

I just rebuilt the neovim package, can you update to the latest version (apt update && apt -y upgrade) and see if it's fixed there?

If the problem remains after updating, can you reproduce the problem when running

nvim -u NONE

?

[zelhar]

When I start with nvim -u NONE neovim starts without errors. However typing from within nvim :syntax on reproduces the error. I have that command in my init.vim file too. I removed filetype.vim and the .config/nvim/syntax folder but the error persists.

[zelhar]

Has anybody else reproduced this error? This is the result after I start wit ˋnvim -u NONEˋ and then type ˋ:filetype plugin indent onˋ :

I'm also experiencing this on my Nexus 9.

[Neo-Oli]

I tested it on my xperia z and z3c, but can not reproduce

UPDATE: The latest 0.2 seems to work without major bugs.

@zelhar Great, thanks for the update!
