gpm segmentation fault



Hi,

I think i have something very strange with gpm handling my mouse.

First: the mouse is working _correctly_ under X, so there is definitively no
problem with the mouse.

But with gpm it's another story...
It launches ok (of course it's configured with the same parameters as in X)
and as soon as i move with the mouse,the daemon dies.
I can relaunch it but it's always dieing.

with strace i have:
select(6, [4 5], NULL, NULL, {86386, 210000}) = 1 (in [4], left {86383,
770000})
open("/dev/tty0", O_RDONLY)             = 6
ioctl(6, KDGETMODE, 0xbffffafc)         = 0
close(6)                                = 0
read(4, "C", 1)                         = 1
read(4, "?", 2)                         = 1
read(4, "\0", 1)                        = 1
select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})      = 0 (Timeout)
--- SIGFPE (Floating point exception) ---

when i launch gpm it is sitting in the first line,
as soon as i touch the mouse, it's doing the other lines, and then dies.
(i don't understand why there is a mention of tty0)

The only peculiar thing i have: my console width and height are quite
extended, that is 80 columns and 60 lines (vga=6 in lilo.conf)

gpm _works_ if i use a more 'standard' console.

It's a Microsoft Mouse
If that's of importance, X detects my video chipset as 
Cirrus Logic GD64XX (laptop)

What should i do ? fill a bug report ?

Thanks for your help !

Patrick
