FreeBSD claymore.corp.netcom.ca 3.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #7: Wed Oct 21 14:38:29 EDT 1998     mattp@claymore.corp.netcom.ca:/usr/local/src/sys/compile/CLAYMORE  i386
>Description:
the /usr/ports/editors/vim5 port appears to hang on a gettimeofday()
call when running in X11 mode.  

gvim forks/execs as normal, draws its window and widgets, then ceases to
function.  It sits in a RUN state, and cannot be killed with the default
signal -- it only seems to respond to sig KILL.

`truss gim -f` (runs gvim in foreground so that it doesn't fork/exec)
shows the last three calls to be:

syscall gettimeofday(0xefbfa5e8,0x0)
        returns 0 (0x0)
syscall gettimeofday(0xefbfa5e8,0x0)
        returns 0 (0x0)
syscall gettimeofday(0xefbfa5e8,0x0)
        returns 0 (0x0)

A full truss of the process is available if it will be useful.  This
problem has been repeated with the most up to date port on a variety of
3.0 ELF systems with different degrees of '-CURRENTness'.
>How-To-Repeat:
make and install /usr/ports/editors/vim5 on any 3.0 ELF system, run 
`gvim` or `vim -g`
