Package: gpm Version: 1.20.4-2 Followup-For: Bug #326709 Hi,
I think this problem may have resurfaced with version 5.6+20080920-1 of libncursesw5; for example, aptitude now segfaults when I use it in interactive mode on a tty while gpm is active. Here is the debugging output: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
