Unfortunately the ABI compatibility doesn't seem to be the cause for the problem I reported: | Since yesterdays update of gpm in testing from 1.19.6-25 to | 1.20.3~pre3-3 gpm regulary froze on me, making at least w3m, aptitude | and pdmenu freeze or even segfault - not even ctrl-c was possible | anymore when they froze. | | I /think/ that after the upgrade I only got frozen applications which | worked for a while again after a /etc/init.d/gpm restart (until I | completely stopped it), after a reboot today I even got segfaults in | them, mostly when I did put my powerbook to sleep and resumed. | | Stopping gpm made the problems go away completely. If I can be of | further help for tracking the issue down (like debug install?) don't | hesitate to tell me. I'm not yet sure how to relyable reproduce it, but | it happened regularly enough the last day that I consider this bugreport | and its severity justified. This problem is still existent after the upgrade to the new version of gpm from unstable (including the binNMUs for w3m and pdmenu), so I can't call this problem fixed, sorry.
