Hi,
On first sight upgrading gpm to 1.20.1-36 seemed to solve my mc crashes, but as it turns out it didn't.

Today again I experienced crashes in mc as user leonard (currently not reproducible) and as root (still reproducable) that dissappeared when stopping gpm.

Obviously the patch didn't solve the entire problem.
I do have core files, but no experience with analyzing these. Should I submit them? Or can you give me some clues on where and how to look?
Allow core file to be saved # ulimit -c 99999; # unit are in KB ... # gdb mc core.1234 (gdb) bt #0 0x40287673 in strlen () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x401933e2 in Gpm_Open () from /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 #2 0x4032f91d in __libc_ptyname2 () from /lib/libc.so.6
The back trace is different, the behavior from working again to segfault is puzzling, at best.
The backtrace being different let me beleive that it is trigger from a different case.
