Mageia8, x86_64

Before updating:
Obtained the poc files from github but did not expect much help from them
because they are supposed to be run against an asan compiled version of vim.

$ valgrind --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all -s vim -u NONE -i NONE -n -m -X -Z -e -s -S poc_huaf1 -c :qa!
Final line of report shows:
ERROR SUMMARY: 4 errors from 4 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0)

$ valgrind --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all -s vim -u NONE -i NONE -n -m -X -Z -e -s -S poc_huaf2 -c :qa!

ERROR SUMMARY: 396 errors from 63 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0)

$ valgrind --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all -s vim -u NONE -i NONE -n -m -X -Z -e -s -S poc_huaf3 -c :qa!

ERROR SUMMARY: 198 errors from 63 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0)

After updating the valgrind reports for poc 1, 2, 3:
ERROR SUMMARY: 5 errors from 5 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0)
ERROR SUMMARY: 5 errors from 5 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0)
ERROR SUMMARY: 5 errors from 5 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0)

Difficult to know what to make of that but in general there seem to be fewer
errors.

Ran vim for a local text file in insertion and overwite modes and exercised
the simpler commands including searches and whole line deletion and
replacement (dd and pp) and investigated the extensive onboard help system.
Used some tags to navigate the documentation.  No regressions were apparent.
Edited three files in a list on the command line and used the :next command
to shift from one to the other.  Edited only the third one and finished with
:wq.  Only the last one was actually written to disk because the others were
not changed.  All good.

This is a huge subject.  These quick tests shall have to do.
