neovim:

I notice that you have just released a new version and I also update to the latest, does it caused by the new release? Is there any notes for this release?

[junegunn]

Rerun the install script (~/.fzf/install) to download the latest binary.

[liuchengxu]

Thanks!

I hit this same wall while using fzf in nvim inside iTerm. What's weird is that it works most of the time, but it fails about 3/10 times.

[junegunn]

You can check if the command printed in the error message works outside of nvim.

[juandazapata]

I'm also getting this random segfaults errors while in the terminal (outside vim)

/usr/local/bin/fzf-tmux: line 89: 54372 Segmentation fault: 11  fzf "${args[@]}"

[junegunn]

Please post the full command you executed.

• Do you still see the same problem if you replace fzf-tmux to fzf?
• Which version of fzf are you running?

[tupton]

I'm getting the original issue in vim. I've re-run the installation command to download the latest binary like you mentioned.

I had updated the binary in my global installation of fzf, but not the one in ~/.vim/plugged/fzf. Updating there fixed this issue.

[juandazapata]

I completely uninstalled fzf and installed the latest version and the problem went away. It's been working perfectly for the last 2 weeks. 🎉

@junegunn I thought I'd ask here before I open a new issue, but I keep randomly having this error and it's annoying to the point that's making me consider not use fzf, which is one of my favorite plugins.

I've reinstalled fzf and fzf-git from aur mutliple times, updating the script from vim every time as well, but no matter what this error keeps coming back, and worst of all it makes my cpu spike to high temperatures until I kill it with ctrl+c.

The full error that I get is:
