The POC is much too long. Please reduce it to the minimal necessary to reproduce the problem.

I can reproduce it now. The POC is still long and a bit obscure, especially because it reads itself. I'll see if I can come up with a simpler test.

Fixed with patch 8.2.4151. The test didn't trigger a valgrind error, could not make it cover the actual problem.

Bram Moolenaar marked this as fixed in 8.2 with commit 57df9e 2 years ago
