Thanks, Akira.
I have figured out the root cause of the w3m crash -- it's because w3m isn't linked with libncurses, where the wgetch() function is defined. The linker doesn't complain because gpm has declared wgetch to be a weak symbol. I've noted that information in bug 120240, and further discussion on this topic can be conducted through Bugzilla.
That means that the vim crash I mentioned earlier is due to a different cause.

I saw the same problem too. See also http:/bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120240
it was already filed, but not getting the fix yet.
