Anyone else have this error? I can't reproduce it (not saying it didn't
happen, though). I recompiled libgpm last night to correct the ncurses
problems I was having.
Let me know and I can provide a new package to try if needed. Also, I
would be interested to see what happens with a non-apt installed package
(by hand).
