Bug#341968: If vim-gnome is installed,
VIM quits unexpectedly while reading from stdin

Package: vim-gnome
Version: 6.4-001+2
If the vim-gnome package is installed, VIM quits while reading from stdin when
there's a delay of a few seconds until some input is produced. This doesn't
happen when the only installed VIM packages are vim and vim-common.
To reproduce:
1. With only vim and vim-common installed and while in X do:
$ bash -c 'sleep 3; echo foo' | vim -
After three seconds VIM is displayed with the "foo" text in the buffer, as expected.
2. Install vim-gnome.
3. Repeat step 1:
$ bash -c 'sleep 3; echo foo' | vim -
ERROR: After three seconds VIM quits and displays the "^[[>1;1113;0ct" string
(at least with gnome-terminal and bash).
Try also:
$ echo foo | vim -
This works as expected.
I'm only experiencing this in an X session with both xterm and gnome-terminal.
I'm not experiencing it in a getty console.
In the real world I ran into this bug while using VIM to view CVS diffs to a
remote server (that's why the delay).
I'm using Debian GNU/Linux unstable, self-compiled kernel 2.6.13.2 and libc6
2.3.5-8.
