Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.3-35
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Following a recent dist-upgrade, w3m has become unusable. w3m immediately 
segfaults in response to many hotkeys, including "/" "?" "Esc" "q" "S" etc. 
During the dist-upgrade, libgpm2 was upgraded from version 1.20.4-6.2+b1 to 
1.20.7-4, and this seems to have caused this bug. Downgrading libgpm2 back to 
version 1.20.4-6.2+b1 makes w3m usable again.

The error message on exit is always simply: "Segmentation fault"

Downgrading the libgpm2 mitigates this bug.
