I copied your text from my browser (webmail interface) and pasted it just fine. I then opened gvim and typed a couple lines. Copy/paste/crash. Tried with text based vim, no problem. So it's something gvim is doing that's causing the problem. No problem with text copied from gedit either.

I have vim/gvim 7.1.330 and I entered the following three lines of text:

this is just a small testA
and this is another line
and so is this

Then highlighted those lines with the left mouse button and then pasted into x5250 using the middle mouse button. No crash. We're on the same versions of tn5250/x5250 so I think we can rule out version discrepancies there. How are you doing your copy/paste? Middle mouse button or some desktop feature like control-c or something like that (never did like those keystrokes for copy/paste personally so I don't know what they are). If you're using some keystroke combination then I'm wondering if the desktop environment is a factor. I feel like I'm grasping at straws though.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
