1.7.5: vim SEGV on write of /etc/hosts

Whenever I vi /etc/hosts and write a change I get

-bash-3.2$ vi /etc/hosts
Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV

Tho the change gets written ok. It seems to have started with 1.7.5. No
problem seen with other files.

-bash-3.2$ ls -l /etc/hosts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bross mkgroup-l-d 46 2009-05-19 10:05 /etc/hosts ->
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/hosts*
-bash-3.2$ ls -l /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
-rwxrwx---+ 1 Administrators SYSTEM 4415 2010-06-22 12:55
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/hosts*
