> I've noticed that gpm segfaults while under Midnight Commander.
> Well, it's not gpm who actually faults, but liblow.c.
> mc runs itself connected to /dev/pts/0 (mmm... at least for me).
> When I start mc everything is OK. My mouse is alive and running :).
> Then I press ^O (panels off) gpm as far as I got it reconnects itself to
> /dev/tty*. Switching panels back on leads to segfault of Gpm_get_console
> code because it knows nothing about /dev/pts and returns NULL, which
> in turn leads to a subsequent death of mc. Rather annoying feature to
> leave it as is. ;)

> The patch in attachement made my life a little easier.
> Good Luck!
