Thanks folks; for the tips & also for helping me figure out that the
problem was with mc and not gpm. I did recompile mc, mc-common, and gmc
with the result that all of the mouse protocols are now accepted and
things are back to normal. 

As an aside: I hope that any changes/problems/opportunities of this
nature will be announced on the lists here as soon as they are verified.
I do not think of this as a bug, but it does have the same result if we
do not know how to cope with it.
