Of course, let's go.

/usr/bin/vi in NetBSD does not crash (and do nothing, of course)

if I try to execute  /usr/pkg/bin/vim it enters in thunar in 
/usr/pkg/bin directory. Then I manually click on the vim executable and 
all XFCE desktop freezes.

Right clicking a text file and opening with vim says in terminal: 
Warning, input is not from a terminal. It does not crash.

If I execute vim by clicking on /usr/pkg/bin/vim,  pcmanfm-qt window 
disappears and also terminal from which pcmanfm-qt was launched disappears.
