vim5 (on Linux at least) gets a SEGV and dies when you load up help twice.
e.g:

    athena% vim5
    :help
    :q
    :help

The core file isn't all that useful, but it appears to be dying in
some curses function?

(gdb) where
#0  0x401879d9 in __kill ()
#1  0x809a6d5 in mch_windexit ()
#2  0x809a6a6 in mch_windexit ()
#3  0x8080a83 in getout ()
#4  0x808b8fb in preserve_exit ()
#5  0x8099aa9 in mch_delay ()
#6  0xbfffefcc in ?? ()

It also crashes in X though. (vim5 -g).

Anyway. Maybe installing the full vim5.0 release instead of a beta
version would help.
