Yes, I can reproduce that too.

This bug has already been fixed in latest vim from CVS (in patch 7.1.147
which was released on Tue, Oct 30, 2007). But Ubuntu Hardy is using
an older version: vim-7.1.138 (which was released on Oct 9, 2007).

Here is the patch description which fixes it:

7.1.147 (after 7.1.127) freeing memory twice completing user name

Can we backport a more recent vim? It would fix several issues.

The latest vim from CVS is vim-7.1.293 (apr-9) which I've been using and
testing since it was released looks very stable. Updating would fix not
only this issue but other opened vim issues which I have investigated
such as at least:

- bug #215374 (this bug) (fixed in vim-7.1.147)
- bug #129106 vim crashes when gnome-terminal tab is detached (fixed in vim-7.1.166)
- bug #68960 fix hangs when editing a specific file (fixed in vim 7.1.227)
- bug #219546 vim crashes when pressing tab and using rails.vim (no longer happens in latest vim-7.1.293, not sure which patch fixes it, possibly also 7.1.147)
